Because of the difficulties fixing this without access to a system
with HP cc, I am leaving this to you guys.  Here's the plan I would
use:

- read the docs for cc, looking for alloca references.
- build xemacs 20.2 on the same system, looking for how it handles the 
  configuration issues.  
- Fix the code in 20.3 based on the above information.

One additional idea that could be tried is to extract alloca.o from
libPW.a and simply put this file into the src directory, and link with 
that.  

Good Luck.

Martin
