libgc: problem with 7.6.0-1 version

[Marco Atzeri]

Andy,

I see guild (guile compiler) freezing with latest libgc.
Reverting to 7.2d-2 solved the issue

Can you check for any difference between 7.6.0-1 and 7.2d-2 ?

Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,

Sorry that I missed your msg since I only subscribe to cygwin-apps but
not cygwin...

7.2d was released in 2012, and 7.6.0 was released in 2016, so there
are quite a lot of changes...
(https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/blob/master/ChangeLog)

For neko, the situation is reversed, i.e. neko crashes with libgc
7.2d, but it runs fine with libgc 7.6.

You may file an issue to libgc directly, since Ivan is pretty helpful
and responsive: https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues

Best regards,
Andy
