This is not possible as different kinds of GCs need to generate

additional runtime information, so you can't just "swap" them.
You need to recompile.

I don't know much about the problem, so this may be a dumb
question, but I'll ask anyway.
Can a loadable GC be made possible with an improved design? For
example, can the component that generates the needed runtime data
for the GC also be plugged in?
