So here's a patch that I think kills the alloca bits.

intl/ was the most interesting in that it has several #if ALLOCA
thingies.  But I reviewed all them and I'm pretty sure we'll do the
right thing (they define HAVE_ALLOCA anytime __GNUC__ is defined).

I've bootstrapped and regression tested without issue, of course.  But
that doesn't really exercise the worrisome cases. I wanted to try and
bootstrap on aix7.2, but the machine is the farm takes several seconds
for every file/directory operation.  Clearly not feasible.  So I then
wanted to try on aix7.1, but it doesn't look like we've got a usable
xlc++.  Then I tried to build on Solaris 11 in the farm.  But no Oracle
C++ compiler seems to be installed on that box.

So I'd really appreciated it if someone could do a bootstrap with
something other than GCC, preferably on AIX, but Solaris would be fine
too.

Anyway, here's the patch which removes all the alloca crud that I think
should disappear.
