Ok.

Here's a similar change for alloca.
I remembered only after sending that patch for stdbool that using a
suffix (here, just `t') is better than using a prefix in general, because
sometimes $@ expands to a name including leading directory components.
And `t' is better than `-t' because it's one character shorter.

        * modules/alloca: Adjust Makefile snippet not to redirect directly
        to target.
        Use $(ALLOCA_H) notation, not @ALLOCA_H@ for AC_REPLACE'd variables.
