This might be an option --with-gc=VALUE, where VALUE currently could be gasman or boehm (and possibly also none). In the future, julia might be another possible value.

If HPC-GAP is disabled, then gasman would be default; if HPC-GAP is enabled, then boehm. But we'd want to allow boehm in regular GAP, too. As for gasman, I don't think it is thread safe, so for HPC-GAP we'd probably show an error that the two cannot be combined.

Vaguely related: issue #1272
