Set the XTerm*ttyModes resource.  From the xterm man page: 

       ttyModes (class TtyModes)
               Specifies a  string  containing  terminal  setting
               keywords  and  the characters to which they may be
               bound.  Allowable keywords  include:  intr,  quit,
               erase,  kill,  eof,  eol, swtch, start, stop, brk,
               susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and lnext.  Con-
               trol characters may be specified as ^char (e.g. ^c
               or ^u) and ^? may  be  used  to  indicate  Delete.
               This  is  very  useful  for overriding the default
               terminal settings without having  to  do  an  stty
               every time an xterm is started.

In NetBSD, alloca(3) is in <stdlib.h>.  Just comment out the reference to
<alloca.h>,  possibly replacing it with <stdlib.h>.
