It is not maintained, and I can't get any help from the boehm-gc mailing list either: https://lists.opendylan.org/pipermail/bdwgc/2014-April/005878.html This failure blocks about 50 ports on ia64. I know nothing about boehm-gc, hence my question: does this port provide some critical functionality to the other 50 ports? Is it possible to build the said 50 ports without boehm-gc, perhaps with reduced functionality? Is there an alternative to boehm-gc? Thanks Anton
