egcs whines whenever it sees the symbol. It shouldn't be a problem
when it appears like this...

# if defined(__NetBSD__)
#    define NETBSD
#    define unix /* symbol unix is no longer defined in NetBSD */
# endif

as it does in the current boehm-gc package.

??? I don't have a config.h. In gcconfig.h

245  # if defined(__DJGPP__)
246  #   define I386
247  #   ifndef DJGPP
248  #     define DJGPP  /* MSDOS running the DJGPP port of GCC */
249  #   endif

Are you using the current pkgsrc, gc5.0alpha3?

I built it on mac68k-1.4.1 for w3m. w3m is not very stable. The
program often either hangs or dumps core. It's hard to say whether
it's w3m or the library, but the backtrace shows that it's in the GC_*
routines when it segfaults. (On i386, it just seems to hang.)
