   Under UnixWare 2.x, alloca is in the UCB library (libucb.a ?).  The easist way 
   to link in alloca is to extract it from libucb.a and either link in the 
   alloca.o file or put it into the libgen.a library and the link in via -lgen.  
   Why now just link in lubucb.a you ask?  The are routines in libucb.a that you 
   do not want to get linked into the object in place of the regular routines 
   with the same name.  I have ran my UnixWare 2.x system (when I had it) with 
   alloca in libgen.a with out any problems.
   
   This was the setup I used to compile Postgres 6.3.x when I had UnixWare 2.x.  
   [Hmmm....  It looks like I should put together a 486 box to run Unixware 2.x 
   on so that I can test new versions of PostgreSQL on it].

   Billy,
   
   I have such a box (running 2.1.2 and pg 6.3.2) and linked no problem (see
   earlier post) by telling the linker to use /usr/ucblib.
   
   Thomas Lockhart would like me to document this along with Dmitri S and
   Andrew...but I am underqualifed (generally ;-)
   
   Care to assist?

   I clearly build 6.5 on my UW using compiler located in /udk
   with one fiew problem in plpgsql:
   compilation of pl_scan.c filed due undeclared
   K_ALIAS ...
   
   I move line
   #include "pl_scan.c" 
   in pl_gram.c after constant declaration, but I don't now 
   how it can be solved permanently in gram.y
   
   I can't connect to postgres using UDS, 
   probably, because its on disk name has additional simbol ^F
   
   root@its-sp:~/postgresql-6.5/src/pl/plpgsql/src>ls -l /tmp/.s*  
   p-w--w--w-  1 postgres        0 Jun 17 22:39 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432^F
