Is there still time needed for deciding? I would like to see gc in Lion, too, for asymptote. gc-7.1-1002 builds and works, although I had to compile asymptote with -DGC_DEBUG, otherwise there was a systematic segfault caused by a bad memory allocation. Whether this is a bug in asymptote (which I also had to compile with llvm instead of clang because of questionable C++ coding) or in gc, I don't know. -- Martin -- Malware Security Report: Protecting Your Business, Customers, and the Bottom Line.
