Additional question: The POD to this configuration step class states:
"--gc" can take the values:
"gc"
The default. Use the memory allocator in src/recources.c.
"libc"
Use the C library "malloc" along with src/gc/res_lea.c. This
doesn't work. See [perl #42774].
"malloc"
Use the malloc in src/malloc.c along with src/gc/res_lea.c.
Since this uses res_lea.c, it doesn't work either. See [perl #42774].
"malloc-trace"
Use the malloc in src/malloc-trace.c with tracing enabled, along
with src/gc/res_lea.c. Since this uses res_lea.c, it doesn't
work either. See [perl #42774].
Okay, so if only 1 of the 4 possible values for the --gc option works,
why shouldn't we (or, I, as the cage cleaner in this area) just rip out
the code for the 3 non-working values?
