This one is a real head scratcher.  I believe you can get around it
somewhat by tweaking s/irix-4.h, taking out the 

#define alloca __builtin_alloca

but then you come up with alloca being undefined in one of the
programs in emacs/etc.  Really annoying.  I'm on the case though.

By the way, don't bother posting notes to the bug list unless you're willing
to give exhaustive details on where the problem occurs, and how to fix
it.  RMS is chiding people for incomplete bug reports.
