The linker can't find "xmalloc" referenced by the new "alloca.c" included in the latest CVS.

But NCR has it's own "alloca", and "HAVE_ALLOCA" is set accordingly in config.h by the configure script.

I changed "#ifndef alloca" to "#ifndef HAVE_ALLOCA" in "alloca.c" and then everything compiles and links OK.

Could someone knowledgeable in "alloca" things fix this on the CVS ?

I do not want to apply the change to "alloca.c" in the CVS myself as I don't know if I am doing the right thing.
It's not because it works for me that it will work for you.

Fixed.
p.s., not touching stuff you're not familiar with in
the CVS isn't only a good idea, it's a real must!
