See my other reply (sent just a minute ago).

This is ok. Beginning with 2.8 libgc is not a part of OpenC++, it is an 
external library. If you want to use gc, you need to install it 
system-wide or in your home. In the latter case you have guarantee, that 
compiler/linker will be able to find libgc, one way is:

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I<dir_with_gc>/include LDFLAGS=-L<dir_with_gc>/lib

Alternatively, you can switch gc off:

./configure --disable-gc

That would be great to bring all the fixes into CVS.

Correct. Makefile is generated by ./configure, no need to keep it in CVS.

gc directory should be all empty, which effectively means it does not 
exist any more. This is because libgc is no longer distributed as a part 
of OpenC++, starting from 2.8 it is an external dependency.

Yes.
