original 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.
using the cc options (-Wl,-y__builtin_alloca) the problem was tracked
down to an old gdbm library.
Thanks to Vipin Gokhale for pointing this out.
