Its gc_malloc, etc, accept a PointerMap type which I assume is used for precise scanning, but I couldn't find a definition of PointerMap in the GC code or other obvious locations so I disabled it for now.  I assume it's from the precise scanning patch and that I can get whatever else is needed from there.  For now, I just wanted a functional port to test.
