It seems many people have been compiling against 6.8, manually setting
CFLAGS &c, apparently without bad results.

It also says this:
Guile's ./configure script uses pkg-config to discover the correct
compile and link options for libgc. If you don't have pkg-config
installed, or you have a version of libgc that doesn't provide a
.pc file, you can work around this by setting some environment
variables before running ./configure:
- PKG_CONFIG=true
- BDW_GC_CFLAGS=<compile flags for picking up libgc headers>
- BDW_GC_LIBS=<linker flags for picking up the libgc library>
Ludovic, is there a reason to *require* 7.x, given that 6.8 seems to
work fine for people?
Andy
