>Description:
mysql-4.0.1-alpha fails to build on IBM AIX 4.3 because of
gcc'isms in the source code. A fix for that problem is
supplied below.
However, configure says:
checking for alloca.h... no
checking for working alloca.h... (cached) no
checking for alloca... yes
and config.h contains
/* Define if you have alloca, as a function or macro. */
#define HAVE_ALLOCA 1
/* Define if you have <alloca.h> and it should be used (not on
Ultrix). */
/* #undef HAVE_ALLOCA_H */
However, alloca() is NOT supported by most non-gcc compilers,
including IBM's cc, resulting in this subsequent link failure:

../dbug/libdbug.a ../strings/libmystrings.a -lcrypt -lm \
-lpthread
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .alloca
I don't have a workaround for that problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
env CC=cc CXX=xlC ./configure && nice time make all
>Fix:
Here is a patch for one of the problems: C++ comments in C
code.
