Yeah, though I think I would probably squash in:
diff --git a/config.mak.uname b/config.mak.uname
index 723f632..15557c3 100644
--- a/config.mak.uname
+++ b/config.mak.uname

endif
ifeq ($(uname_S),GNU/kFreeBSD)
HAVE_ALLOCA_H = YesPlease
It's not necessary on all Linux platforms yet, but it doesn't hurt, so
we can err on the side of including it (and I think we can assume all
Linux systems have GNU grep or equivalent).
