Years ago I became maintainer of libgc only in order to get w3m
working.  And unfortunately I have not kept it current with the
upstream libgc.  Several newer versions back it was causing w3m to
throw errors in my dev environment so I didn't proceed at that time.

I'll either attempt to upgrade or seek a new maintainer, which might
take a bit of time, my apologies!
