No concrete evidence.  In the past I was unable to use 6.x on it while
7.x worked in my own projects.  In 7.1 and 7.2alpha6 this function is
now called GC_find_limit_with_bound() instead of just GC_find_limit().
The relevant line number in 7.2alpha6 is os_dep.c:994.

I suppose the best way to be sure is to compare the output of gcc -E
for os_dep.c.

If you have any further ideas I can explore, please let me know.
