Has anyone successfully compiled the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector 
with DJGPP?

It appears to have been compiled with DJGPP before, since its config.h file 
contains DJGPP specific settings, but I can't seem to get it to compile.  I've 
changed the makefile to get the compile going but gcc is complaining while 
compiling os_dep.c.

Since this is a standard package, I'm loath to hack it to get it working, but 
if no one has any idea about fixing it, that's what I'll do.

The garbage collector is available as:
ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/gc/gc4.10.tar.gz

Before I get flamed for using automatic garbage collection, its for use with 
the SmallEiffel Eiffel compiler, which doesn't have its own garbage collector 
(yet!).

Thanks in advance,
Peter
