In the LLDS (low level data structure) grades the C generated should
compile for none.gc, reg.gc, jump.gc and asm_fast.gc.  The same C is
used the macros and conditional compilation just expand to different
code.

Try compiling with the grade forced to be none.gc.  Just placing
GRADE=none.gc in Mmake.params in the root directory should be enought.
