I think gcc always provides __builtin_alloca.

That's probably not too terrible.

I've got an idea cray vector systems don't have alloca, but that they
do have variable sized automatics (which obviously gives nearly the
same effect if used right).  These are probably not platforms where
guile works at all now though. :)
