I see. So I guess we'll have to treat this boehm-gc as a fork, and port it separately. In the meantime, could you please disable it for systems where it's not known to be supported? That currently means Linux only. Something like: ifneq (, $(filter linux-gnu $(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM))) boehm=included else boehm=none endif [...] ./configure --with-gc=$(boehm) Thank you. -- Robert Millan "it's about trust... i don't trust them. that's all i need to know."
