Why can't we use the Boehm's GC for all of GCC? It's already
distributed with GCC and we already use it for the Java runtime.

For the record, you cannot use BGC for the GNAT compiler itself
because it uses virtual origin addressing which is incompatible
with the BGC approach. In terms of the run time library, I think
everything should work except the g-table and g-dyntab units which
also use virtual addressing.
