    That was the plan.  I can add one function call in GC, but it would still
    be a GTK specific solution and make alloc.c dependent on USE_GTK.

That's ok.  It is not a big problem.

It is not worth constructing fancy mechanisms to solve an tiny
internal lack of elegance.  If it were big enough to cause real
hassles, then it might be worth some work to remove.
