CGC Build Options
-----------------
As noted above in "CGC versus 3m", Racket builds a CGC variant in the
process of creating the normal 3m variant. Within the CGC variant, two
implementations are possible.
By default, Racket CGC is implemented with SenoraGC (in the "sgc"
directory), which is relativey portable. Provide `--disable-sgc` to
instead use the Boehm GC (in the "gc" directory), which should perform
better and was the default for Racket CGC through version 6.1.
The variant of the Boehm GC that is included with Racket has been
modified slightly from Boehm's standard distribution; mostly, the
changes modify the way that object finalization is handled.
