Sorry, I realize that this doesn't really address the point.
In addition to that union, we should also have a particular mechanism to compute
what the proper offset should be between the PyGC_Head and the PyObject.
Probably something like:

typedef struct {
    PyGC_Head head;
    union {
      /* ... similar union as in PyGC_head */
    } body;
} _PyGC_dummy;

#define _PyGC_Head_OFFSET offsetof(_PyGC_dummy, body)
#define _Py_AS_GC(o) ((PyGC_Head *) ((void *)(o) - _PyGC_Head_OFFSET))

Antoine.
