AFAIK, the problem with a wrong value for GC_stackbottom has only shown up
in OS X, for which this fix has been produced. However, it may make sense to
develop this  or a similar plugin mechanism that we can ship with ecl
(something like cl_boot_plugin() / cl_shutdown_plugin() encapsulating the
appropriate code). Volunteers and testers?
