Hi Andy,

I'm getting a crash in cyggc-1.dll when building asymptote.  Any chance you 
could update libgc to a later release?  I built and installed libgc-8.0.2, which 
is the latest release available at http://www.hboehm.info/gc/gc_source/, and the 
crash didn't occur.

Thanks.

Ken

It would be great if you can report this to the upstream because I
think the 7.x series is still being supported and there are new
releases now and then, so it would be nice to have that bug fixed in
7.x as well.

Yes, I will look into that. Upstream even made a PR to my cygport file
a few days ago: https://github.com/andyli/libgc-cygwin/pull/7
I'm checking with him about backward compatibility.

Best,
Andy

I've just uploaded libgc 8.0.4-1.
