I think _alloca may live in libgcc, which would not be a normal part
of an ms c link.

We're using gcc __builtin_alloca, or should be, I guess that comes out
as a libgcc call.  I don't know what one is meant to do for that when
mixing gcc and ms.  I'll add a note to the manual if anyone can say.
Presumably it affects any program using __builtin_alloca and mixing
gcc and ms c though.
