That is odd. Why does this only happen on alpha? When did it start happening on alpha? Years ago I had an alpha and this is a "new" problem. > tl;dr: should we disable alloca in gettext and what's the best way to > do this if so? I'm reluctant to work around a problem that isn't properly understood. The best way is to override the configure check by setting the corresponding variable. Something like ac_cv_func_alloca_works=no in CONFIGURE_ENV. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
