The -with-cycle-gc flag is an option to configure when you build
Python.  It can't be turned on or off at runtime.

We hope that everyone will build with the -with-cycle-gc flag during
the beta testing, but we don't expect to have enough confidence in it
by final release to make it anything other than an experimental
option.
