Unfortunately, Configure.pl --gc=libc doesn't compile. I don't know how
long it's been broken. I do I know *I* haven't tried it for a very long
time. Here's the error message I get
"src/gc/dod.c", line 462: undefined symbol: PObj_bufstart_external_FLAG
I don't see an obvious fix. For the moment, I'd recommend at least the
following patch to PLATFORMS. I'd also suspect it's worthwhile for an
x86/linux user to check whether the --optimize version is, in fact,
working.
