I am having trouble compiling the X11R3 server on a sun4.
I get the error that the symbol alloca is undefined when
it tries to link the server.

We have alloca.h installed in /usr/include.  The contents
of alloca.h are:


/*      @(#)alloca.h    1.3     88/02/07        SMI     */
#if defined(sparc)
# define alloca(x) __builtin_alloca(x)
#endif



Nevertheless, I still get the undefined alloca error.

Has anyone seen this before or know what is wrong?

Thanks,
