Thanks! I don't exactly understand why, but this works. I now have to 
check if this
somehow solves my "in-application"-problem too,

To close this thread for anyone interested, here's the working code with 
rb_gc() called from within
a protect function.:

#include <ruby.h>

VALUE gc_wrap(VALUE arg)
{
    rb_gc();
    return Qnil;
}

int main()
{
    ruby_init();
    int status;
    rb_protect(gc_wrap, 0, &status);
    if (status)
    {
        printf("error\n");
    }
    ruby_finalize();
}
