I cannot test this.  There is some "bdw-gc" magic:

$ ../configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64
[..............]
checking for struct tm.tm_gmtoff... (cached) yes
checking whether we need POSIX to get struct utimbuf... no
checking for BDW_GC... configure: error: Package requirements (bdw-gc) were not 
met:

No package 'bdw-gc' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BDW_GC_CFLAGS
and BDW_GC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
