Why so?  Would you prefer macros being put in a place of their own as
well?  Essentially, you have implemented SCM_NEWCELL as an inline
function, which has been a macro before.  IMO, it fitted quite nicely in
gc.h.  With the new HAVE_INLINE macro, combining inlined with non-inlined
code should be easy.
