What kind of architecture do you use?  There are some
breakage on several archs like m68k (and sparc-aout?) for
the moment, it works for me on i386-aout and powerpc.  I've
tuckled the problem, but not successed yet.  After done
that, I'd send the patches to original aurther.

Please look at the paches/patch-?? files.  Fixing them are
pretty welcome:-)

BTW, mozilla contains and uses old version of boehm-gc, so
when we get our pkgsrc boehm-gc working, it'd be a great
win.
