compiling xemacs 19.14 - function alloca

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

When trying to compile the new xemacs 19.14 on a DEC3500 DUNIX 3.2, it
fails to link the procedure __builtin_alloca. Compilation is based on
the standard configure script provided with xemacs. The problem
arises from including the system alloca.h, which simply does a #define
alloca __builtin_alloca. Does anyone know what library this function
should come from (looking around, I couldn't find it in any obvious
ones). I could use the C library alloca (which uses the heap), but it
is prefered by the xemacs README that builtin ones be used if
possible.

Any advice or comments will be much appreciated,
thanks
Andrew
