Actual CVS does not compile (IRIX6.5, gcc 2.97 snapshot):

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I./.. -I../libltdl -g -O2 -Wall
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wp,-MD,.deps/gc_os_dep.pp -c gc_os_dep.c  -DPIC -o
.libs/gc_os_dep.lo
gc_os_dep.c: In function `GC_find_limit':
gc_os_dep.c:1706: parse error before "GC_bool"
gc_os_dep.c:1708: syntax error before "ptr_t"
gc_os_dep.c:1717: `result' undeclared (first use in this function)
gc_os_dep.c:1717: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gc_os_dep.c:1717: for each function it appears in.)
gc_os_dep.c:1725: warning: implicit declaration of function `GC_noop1'
gc_os_dep.c:1733: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
gc_os_dep.c: In function `scm_get_stack_base':
gc_os_dep.c:1811: `TRUE' undeclared (first use in this function)
gmake[1]: *** [gc_os_dep.lo] Error 1

(didnt manage to fix this - GC_bool seems to be nowhere defined,
 but replacing with int reveals undefined VOLATILE, replaced with
 volatile reveals undefined GC_noop1.... etc.)
