  | We've been discussing this issue programs that use alloca(3) should use
  | the compiler-supplied version not the libc supplied one. I've added a \
  |warning
  | about uses of alloca(3) from libc so in current, programs that use the \
  |libc
  | alloca(3) will get a warning. I've also updated the man page for \
  |alloca(3).

 Ok, i've switched mine to only look for __builtin_alloca() and
 fall back to malloc(3) otherwise.
