How can you enable it? It's not obvious from the compilation instructions.

Compile SBCL with the command ./make.sh --with-mark-region-gc and the resulting build will use the mark-region GC. (Picking the GC at start-time instead of build-time would be very nice, but technically hard to pull off unfortunately.)
