That's a serious issue. But, I'm confused: gcc/DEV-PHASE on the branch
is set to "prerelease", and, in the auto-host.h file from the build that
gets done as part of the prerelease tarball-building script, I see:
/* Define if you want the garbage collector to do object poisoning and
other
memory allocation checks. This is quite expensive. */
#ifndef USED_FOR_TARGET
/* #undef ENABLE_GC_CHECKING */
#endif
which looks like GC-checking has indeed been turned off, which is
consistent with gcc/configure.ac detecting that we're in release mode.
Are you sure that we're not building with release-checking only?
