gc is garbage collection ...

It's not necessary for anything in GNUstep, indeed the gui won't work 
with it,
and the base library support for garbage collection is really 
alpha/pre-alpha
and it waiting for someone who is actually interested in it to clean it 
up.

Unless you actually want to use garbage collection (and are willing to 
put in
some work debugging it), you should *not* enable it.
