gcc/g++ uses Boehm .. no idea if that is 'as large as
Mozilla',

I believe only gij and the generated java binaries use Boehm
- not
the gcc and g++ compilers themselves.

I just built c,c++ in gcc 4.2.1 and I did not see boehm-gc
being 
compiled.

"The garbage collector (internal to GCC) is a precise
GC"

"but Boehm's GC has been experimented as GCC internal
GC."
