There aren't, but there seems to be something strange about Ubuntu's package 
for the Boehm GC.  On FreeBSD, I'm using the boehm-gc-threaded port, which is 
Boehm GC 7.1, compiled with threads support.  

I don't see the cast errors, because in version those parameters are void* not 
char*.  I don't see the error, because struct GC_stack_base and 
GC_get_stack_base() are declared in the gc.h that I have.

Maybe Ubuntu ships an old version?
