Phase 1 (gc-dev) - Add gc.h, make sure it compiles. Phase 2 (gc-dev2) - Change how strings are allocated, to clean up the code and be compatible with a new GC algorithm. Phase 3 (gc-dev3) - Change from using a Cheney-style copying collector to a naive mark&sweep algorithm. Phase 4 (gc-dev4) - Integrating new tracing GC algorithm, added new thread data argument to runtime. Phase 5 (gc-dev5) - Require pthreads library, stand cyclone back up using new GC algorithm. Debugging notes: __glo_list_91ref - tag is 0 car appears corrupt cdr is set to 0x2 during a segfault. how could this have happened? this variable should always be assigned a closure
