It is not silly.  Alloca is *so* tied to how the compiler is generating
code that it isn't funny.  Note we have no alloca implementation in
/usr/src -- the compiler *must* provide it.  What is the use in compiling
something you cannot link?  I know some are working on TenDRA and I don't
want to leave a hidden land mine for it to fall over.

I wouldn't have the lint case in there personally -- BDE has mentioned
several times that lint should better follow what ever standard or
compiler it is trying to lint for.
