Correct, but this IMHO would the programmer's fault, not GCC's.  The
ARM (13.11.1) says that implementations may provide GC at their
option; I suppose that portable programs must be aware of this and
always use Free, no matter what, in order to work on all
implementations.  It is trivial for a GC-enabled implementation to
provide a no-op version of Free.  Also, appropriate use of pragma
Controlled could be required.
