OK.

I was thinking of a separate package (as done for NumPy IIRC), but maybe
that’s impractical.

OK. Perhaps you could leave that as a comment to future readers who
will want to do the same. :-)
The same problem arises with TeX Live itself, where ‘texdoc’ keeps a
reference to the documentation directory, preventing the addition of a
separate output. Similarly with Perl and ‘perldoc’. Annoying!

That’s OK.

Please change the ‘name’ field to, say, “libgc-cxx”, so that UIs don’t
show two different “libgc” packages.
Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
