Try picking up alloca from the osu-cis archive for the 3B1/7300.

Yuck! The osu-cis archive has a POSIX upgrade kit for the 3B1 library
which contains all of these and more - debugged and working.
Your 3B1 came with System V, but you certainly shouldn't have to put up
with ALL of the limitations that implies. Look around - there are others
who have passed this way before you and have blazed a trail. Make good
use of the tools they have supplied and you may find the 3B1 to still
be a viable personal UNIX platform. :-)
