There should be an <alloca.h> in the "lib" subdirectory of the
distribution.  My one includes:

#ifndef alloca
# ifdef __GNUC__
#  define alloca __builtin_alloca
# elif defined _AIX
#  define alloca __alloca
# elif defined _MSC_VER
#  include <malloc.h>
#  define alloca _alloca
...

So, if compiling with GCC, it should be picking up __builtin_alloca.
If compiling with MSVC, it should be including malloc.h as you
suggest.
