Does GCC always do the marking or only when PCH will be enabled?
Always (unless I'm very confused) - this is the compile-time
garbage collection we're talking about. It was re-written in
conjunction with PCH, but it's still the same basic ggc, except
that the tree-marking and rtl-marking code is now auto-generated
from the header files.
