So 7.x is not /strictly/ required, but I prefer to mark it as required, because there have been performance improvements and possibly other useful changes, and I don’t want to maintain the compatibility layer (7.x is already old!). Now, I don’t feel like checking GC_VERSION_MAJOR >= 7 for now, because checking for ‘bdw-gc.pc’ should already do the trick, and those who forcibly use 6.x do it at their own risk. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
