It doesn't work.

Not even if I add -DBOEHM_GC =/usr/local to the geant invocation.

Geant is not passing on BOEHM_GC to gexace command, and so the line
does not appear in the generated compile_ge.xace.

Here is the generated command:

gexace --define="GOBO_EIFFEL=ge GOBO_OS=unix GOBO_CC=gcc"
--system="ge" --output="compile_ge.xace"
/home/colin/gobo/src/gexslt/system.xace

If I manually add BOEHM_GC=/usr/local into the --define= stuff, then
the correct xace gets generated.
