--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 After updating Chicken past e6c87a718936b070ce8983f0e95cbead7959629c, I
 get the following error trying to build on OpenBSD 4.8:

 {{{
 gmake -f ./Makefile.bsd CONFIG= all
 gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/a/wa/chicken/core'
 gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DHAVE_CHICKEN_CONFIG_H -DC_ENABLE_PTABLES -c -Os

 static.o -I. -I./
 In file included from library.c:11:
 chicken.h:157: error: conflicting types for 'alloca'
 gmake[1]: *** [library-static.o] Error 1
 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/a/wa/chicken/core'
 gmake: *** [all] Error 2
 }}}

 The OpenBSD man page indicates that alloca has a different signature than
 the one declared in chicken.h:

 [http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-
 
bin/man.cgi?query=alloca&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
 alloca(3)]

 The macro '#if defined(!__OpenBSD!__)' can be used to add platform
 specific code in OpenBSD, though I suspect alloca is stable across the
 *BSD platforms.
