Please try the above patch against CVS to src/gc/darwin_stop_world.c;  
I'm not sure that it's good enough, and an easier hack might be to  
disable GC_DARWIN_THREADS in favor of GC_PTHREADS.  I didn't feel  
comfortable with trying to replace libgc in the tree with libgc6.7,  
as the differences between what's there now and libgc6.5 are fairly  
large.

Some of it is borrowed from libgc6.7; the assembler is my own, which  
wasn't present in libgc6.7 for some reason.

SLIME and the compiler seem to work.  I didn't test anything else,  
and that includes the threading API.  Can you point me to a good  
source file or something on ECL threading?
