Summary:                    undefined alloca
Description: 
For certain non-gcc compilers, alloca_h is defined (included) but there, no
alloca() is declared.
Fallback to malloc if _ALLOCA_H is defined but still, there is no alloca()
in the included _ALLOCA_H.

Won't compile for affected non-gcc compilers. As it is a no-go there,
severity:block.

TIA for cross-checking (Works For Me on gcc) and applying.

Guess that wasn't phrased unambiguously; with this patch non-gcc compliant
compilers grok who to alloc.
Without this patch, some of non-gcc will not be able to compile the curses
frontend at all.
Sorry for clarifying (resp. for not being clear before)
Thank you,
