Sorry, the example was not up to date. You must only include <ecl.h>,
not <gc.h>. The beginning of the program should read

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

/*
 * We need to include the following header. The reason is that the
 * garbage collector needs to manage the creation/destruction of
 * threads, but he can only do it if we call its own routines.
 * For instance, under Linux the following header replaces
 * phtread_create with GC_pthread_create.
 */
#include <ecl.h>

This is because _now_ ecl.h automatically includes gc.h
