- Thanks to L. Jonas Olsson for suggesting:
-
- #if defined(alloca) && (alloca == __builtin_alloca)
- #if __GNUC__ < 2 /* do not define for gcc 2.3.2 */
- void *alloca __P((int)); /* built-in for gcc */
- #endif
- #else
- void *alloca __P((size_t));
- #endif /* __GNUC__ */
-
- Which will ifdef out the alloca definition for gcc 2.x but not the gcc
- 1.39 (needed for the kernel rebuilds by the unadventurous ;-)
