My crystal ball says your problem has nothing to do with GC.
Your Emacs is stuck in an inf-loop of code that in turn runs GC on
a regular basis, so when you interrupted the process you happened to be
within GC.
Try to "finish" Fgarbage_collect to see if it does terminate.
And show us the Lisp backtrace (which you'll get if you start "gdb" from
within the .../emacs/src directory).
