I don't like --with-cycle-gc as the configure switch, and unfortunately configure is explicitly designed not to complain about bogus switches. I just typed --without-gc and was momentarily surprised that the module was still enabled. I propose to change the switch to --with(out)-gc and to not recognize --with(out)-cycle-gc. The switch hasn't been there long enough to support both. -Barry
The problem with the name --without-gc is that it suggests a build without any garbage collection. The new patch only handles one special case of garbage collection. The name --without-cycle-gc is a little unwieldy, but clearer. Jeremy
