[Axiom-developer] si::sgc-on t in Axiom?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience building
axiom with the 'sgc' feature in gcl turned on.  This is a write memory
barrier intended to speed up garbage collection.  My initial attempts
are leading axiom (when compiling OUT.NRLIB) to complain with

I obviously haven't done much research yet -- just asking if anyone
else has experience.

Take care,
