boehm_gc is required by ecl - at least the way we will build ecl since
the default tarball of ecl ships with outdated copies of gmp and
boehm_gc. The switch from clisp to ecl has been long delayed, but it
ought to be in 4.0 since clisp 2.47 still does not build on Solaris or
the current Mandriva release without using an ancient compiler, i.e.
on Solaris/Sparc you need gcc 3.2.3 to get a somewhat working clisp.
