Thanks for reporting this. The manual should be updated, for this and
I tried to compile Wget with "tcc", a tiny fast Linux compiler that
happens to not implement alloca. Since Wget's configure checks for
alloca and the source includes the C alloca implementation, it should
(in theory) work anyway. However, I got a compiler error:
tcc -I. -I.-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D
