boehm-gc is difficult, it needs someone with access to multiple
machine architectures and a fair understanding of OS internals to get
it configured properly.
it should probably be ONLY_FOR_ARCHS which have been specifically
tested and known to work. I'm not sure the in-tree port works quite
right on many !i386 but it gets further than this update, which
fails to build on amd64:
os_dep.c: In function `GC_get_stack_base':
os_dep.c:1095: error: `result' undeclared (first use in this function)
os_dep.c:1095: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
os_dep.c:1095: error: for each function it appears in.)
os_dep.c: In function `GC_register_data_segments':
os_dep.c:1483: error: `DATASTART' undeclared (first use in this function)
(this update is also not made on -current, e.g. distinfo is still
old-style) - I didn't try any slow arch yet.

update was made on current. I have to upgrade distinfo indeed. For now
this port was tested on 2 i386 machines. I will test on macppc this
weekend. I have no amd64 here so indeed it will be dificult to update.
At least it works on i386 and could be a base for other arch.
