Comment:

 Actually after looking up man pages for alloca, which system does have the
 signature of

 {{{
 char *alloca(size_t size);
 }}}

 instead of

 {{{
 void *alloca(size_t size);
 }}}

 I have verified this for:

 Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Windows (VS2010 docs) will look into it for Solaris
 (who was the Haiku person again?)

 I have attached a patch to remedy the problem. This also builds on OpenBSD
 4.7 as the signature has always been this way...
