Package: libgc
Severity: important

When libgc is run on 2.6 arm kernels, the first call to GC_malloc
causes a SIGSEGV, presumably triggered by the different VM layout in
2.4.  This happens on sarge as well as on unstable.

A fix for the problem is to use the LINUX_STACKBOTTOM check instead
of HEURISTIC1 if __ARM__ is defined, which is how this issue has been
fixed in upstream 6.6.  Whether this change breaks 2.4 remains to be
tested.
