True, though the error message from the configure script itself  
suggested I could use BDW_GC_* environment variables instead, and  
didn't mention a required minimum version number, so I took the  
"older, more stable version" recommended on the web site for the GC  
library.  Yes, I obviously failed to check Guile's own README file. :-)

If we need 7.x, should we check GC_VERSION_MAJOR>=7 at compile time?
