Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:9 fbissey]:
 > I thought latest upstream was `7.4.2` not `7.2f` or is there a
 particular reason to stick to the `7.2` series?

 It's not really clear what upstream considers the most recent version. The
 website [http://www.hboehm.info/gc/] has the following statement:

 > Currently a fairly recent stable version is gc-7.2f.tar.gz. A later
 version is available as gc-7.4.2.tar.gz.

 Regardless, the main reason for this ticket is #19701 and version 7.2f
 seems to work for that. There seem to be non-trivial changes to gc-7.4.x
 such as a new dependency.
