I detect the note of frustration, but I think this is an experiment
worth making. Say, allow --with-gc=none (re-allow?) to choose ggc-none.c,
and see what happens.
Perhaps the compiler need only turn on GC at all once a threshold number
of... something... has been passed. (Statements? Tree nodes created?
Dunno.)
