By the way, the GC *is* selectable on the command line now.
Just copy the build gc.dll (or gcv4.dll or whatever it is called)
to jre/bin/default, and add the following command line option

     -Dvm.dlls=gcv4

and it will pick up the specified DLL.

Currently, however, the only GC being copied to jre/bin/default
directory is default gc from vm/gc/src (GCv41).
Other garbage collectors can be compiled by specifying

    -DCOMPONENTS=vm.gcv4

or similar command lines, provided that correct build descriptor
is provided in build/make/components/vm/gcv4.xml
(It can be copied from gc.xml and trivially adjusted manually).

Unfortunately, this command does not install the non-standard GC into 
jre/default/bin,
so one needs to do the copying step manually.
