Actually, there’s infrastructure in <libguile/bdw-gc.h> to support 6.x,
which is why you were able to compile most things.

So 7.x is not /strictly/ required, but I prefer to mark it as required,
because there have been performance improvements and possibly other
useful changes, and I don’t want to maintain the compatibility layer
(7.x is already old!).

Now, I don’t feel like checking GC_VERSION_MAJOR >= 7 for now, because
checking for ‘bdw-gc.pc’ should already do the trick, and those who
forcibly use 6.x do it at their own risk.  :-)

Thanks,
