It's for libgc-7.2, released 2012-05-11.

You may also notice the substitution of "file_handle" in w3m's package
definition. That's because glibc decided to start using the identifier
"file_handle" in 2011 [0]. The problem was reported to w3m on the last
day of 2011 [1]. It was patched in the distros in 2012 but nothing from
upstream.
