Indeed.  This was an exception to what generally happens in a `freeze',
because merging BDW-GC was a bigger job than most merges, and it
wouldn't have helped Ludovic to have lots of other things changing at
the same time.

But sorry anyway; we're not (currently) planning any other exceptions
like that.

If you pop these into your environment, the build should get past this
point:

export BDW_GC_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include
export BDW_GC_LIBS=-lgc
