I don't think it works correctly to have a test that requires multiple 
GCs be listed in the needs_XXgc for each XX used. If I want to run tests 
on a platform that only supports one GC then this will fail. I think 
such tests should really only be in the needs_gc group. Further I think 
the test will get excluded from all the applicable_YYgc group if also in 
a needs_XXgc group.
