alloca() in libc is *fundamentally* broken. Only the compiler can know the current state of the stack frame...
Sounds like alloca() should simply be stricken from libc on all architectures.
Might also be a good idea to begin removing uses of it. Searching through the source tree, I note that there's only a handful of uses of alloca outside of contrib and gnu.
