OK, makes sense. But the build breaks because of this, which is
understandable since gc_header_s is defined like this:

  struct gc_header_s
  {
    union
    {
      struct
      {
        unsigned char type;
        unsigned char mark;
        unsigned int  prot_level;
        gc_header_t   next, prev;
      };

      char __space[GC_HEADER_SPACE];
    };
  };

Precision: breaks *on a 64 bits machine* (gc_header_t is a pointer
so gc_header_s is 8 bytes larger than GC_HEADER_SPACE).
