Here is a patch to get Configure.pl --gc=libc to at least compile again.
Alas, it still doesn't seem to work. I'm getting various panics and
crashes that usually (but not always) appear to be related to string
stuff. I suspect I might not have Parrot_allocate_string() quite right,
or there may be other spots elsewhere that assume something about the
overall memory layout that I'm violating here.
In any case, this doesn't hurt the default Configuration and at least
allows --gc=libc to compile, so I think it's a step forward, and a good
point to sync up. I'm not sure when I'll next have a chance to look at
this.
Great! This is definitely a step in the right direction, and it doesn't
make sense to hold off on progress waiting for perfection. So, applied
in r18518. I'm resolving this ticket and opening a new one related to
the specific test failures I found.
