Hi Alexei, First of all, sorry for that subject-line in the previous e-mail. :)...
Well, I'm working on a check-out of the gc_gen folder with my own build file (simple call to g++). But, in terms of the project what I thought was that the build files should accompany each distinct component. Thus, as the gc is a distinct component, that has a scope independent of the VM, the proposal for the separate makefile. I think that I'd better setup some version control locally... perhaps... that should be great. Because, I myself might want to revert some of my modifications but not all.
