Failed compile on Fedora 28, x86_64

I'm working on Fedora 28, x86_64 (fully patched). I'm building 4.2.1
from the tarball.

I *thought* we are supposed to avoid alloca in 2018. I guess this is
another reason why.

Here's from the Fedora man pages. It should provide the header and
library information if a Fedora box is not handy.

ALLOCA(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 ALLOCA(3)

NAME
       alloca - allocate memory that is automatically freed

SYNOPSIS
       #include <alloca.h>

       void *alloca(size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       The  alloca() function allocates size bytes of space in the stack frame
       of the caller.  This temporary space is automatically  freed  when  the
       function that called alloca() returns to its caller.

RETURN VALUE
       The  alloca()  function returns a pointer to the beginning of the allo‐
       cated space.  If the allocation causes stack overflow, program behavior
       is undefined.

ATTRIBUTES
       For   an   explanation   of   the  terms  used  in  this  section,  see
       attributes(7).

       ┌──────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐
       │Interface │ Attribute     │ Value   │

       │alloca()  │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │
       └──────────┴───────────────┴─────────┘
CONFORMING TO
       This function is not in POSIX.1.

       There is evidence that the alloca()  function  appeared  in  32V,  PWB,
       PWB.2,  3BSD,  and  4BSD.  There is a man page for it in 4.3BSD.  Linux
       uses the GNU version.

NOTES
       The alloca() function is machine- and compiler-dependent.  For  certain
       applications,  its  use  can  improve efficiency compared to the use of
       malloc(3) plus free(3).  In certain cases, it can also simplify  memory
       deallocation  in  applications  that  use  longjmp(3) or siglongjmp(3).
       Otherwise, its use is discouraged.

       Because the space allocated by alloca() is allocated within  the  stack
       frame,  that  space  is  automatically  freed if the function return is
       jumped over by a call to longjmp(3) or siglongjmp(3).

       Do not attempt to free(3) space allocated by alloca()!

   Notes on the GNU version
       Normally, gcc(1) translates calls to alloca() with inlined code.   This
       is  not done when either the -ansi, -std=c89, -std=c99, or the -std=c11
       option is given and the header <alloca.h> is not included.   Otherwise,
       (without  an  -ansi  or -std=c* option) the glibc version of <stdlib.h>
       includes <alloca.h> and that contains the lines:

           #ifdef  __GNUC__
           #define alloca(size)   __builtin_alloca (size)
           #endif

       with messy consequences if one has a private version of this function.

       The fact that the code is inlined means that it is impossible  to  take
       the address of this function, or to change its behavior by linking with
       a different library.

       The inlined code often consists of a single instruction  adjusting  the
       stack  pointer,  and does not check for stack overflow.  Thus, there is
       no NULL error return.

BUGS
       There is no error indication if the stack  frame  cannot  be  extended.
       (However, after a failed allocation, the program is likely to receive a
       SIGSEGV signal if it attempts to access the unallocated space.)

       On many systems alloca() cannot be used inside the list of arguments of
       a  function  call,  because  the stack space reserved by alloca() would
       appear on the stack in the middle of the space for the  function  argu‐
       ments.
