I don't know the status yet. I just took the patches from gc mailing 
list, which are for a 6.2alpha release and adapted them to current 
boehm-gc from gcc-cvs.

The patches are not from my side, mainly from Jesse & Jeff.

I can prepare something if the boehm-gc import will not happen before 
3.3 release. On the other side, I'd like to see some more testing on it. 
I had severe problems which are not clear to me why. (reinstallation helped)

What do you mean, and do you really plan to import boehm-gc soon, I 
mean before 3.3 release? If so, and the 3.3 release will happen soon, I 
feel a bit weak since this a new release of boehm-gc. Personaly I would 
deny such an import on projects of mine being short before release. 
Without heavy testing. If doing so I fear some support issues striking 
back. But that's my feeling. You probably have more experience in.

So have to rebuild branch since I shot the source tree :)
