We don't provide the builtin in stdlib.h.

The definition in stdlib.h makes the app use the libc-provided
alloca(), which is even more broken than using the builtin, and it
generates link-time warnings.

OK, I can check if using gnu++14 would make the code use builtin for
alloca(). Does -std=gnu++14 work with clang?
