+Summary: Libgc - GCC workaround breaks non-linux build
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+At (or about) line 560 of libgc/pthread_support.c (46962) is a function
+which has been defined for __GNUC__, which is named 
+get_gc_thread_key_addr().  This function is needed due to miscompilaton
+problems from gcc 3.3.6.  Unfortunately, the definition is not restrictive
+enough, only specifying __GNUC__, and breaks the BSD build - presumably
+along with others who define __GNUC__ but not THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC.
+
+Since the function is only called in the case where THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC is
+true and DBG_HDRS_ALL is false, the following patch should be acceptable:
+
+Index: pthread_support.c
