Yes, but Sun (for SPARC) and, I think, MIPS hide the help they give the
compiler (a #define, rather than a #pragma, in Sun's case) in an include
file <alloca.h>; if they both do so, it might be wise for IBM to get
with the program, the fact that "alloca()" is non-portable and probably
shouldn't be used nonwithstanding....
