Yes, I think that should be an acceptable fix for now, especially since 
we should only need to do it in one place. It would be really nice if 
libjava had no compile-time dependencies on the GC's configuration, 
however - ie GC_malloc() should call the right version depending on how 
the GC is configured, that way libjava wouldn't have to include any 
configuration from the GC.
