Neil Jerram 4a462e3544 Make sure that we have a real on-the-stack alloca()
Because of how Guile saves and restores continuations (by copying the
stack), and how it uses alloca to create space for debug information
on the stack, we must have an alloca() that really does use the stack,
and not one that uses the heap.

To do this, we use the Gnulib "alloca-opt" module instead of "alloca".

This commit also updates the Gnulib sources from the current Gnulib
Git repository.

/* alloca (N) returns a pointer to N bytes of memory
allocated on the stack, which will last until the function returns.
Use of alloca should be avoided:
- inside arguments of function calls - undefined behaviour,
- in inline functions - the allocation may actually last until the
calling function returns,
- for huge N (say, N >= 65536) - you never know how large (or small)
the stack is, and when the stack cannot fulfill the memory allocation
request, the program just crashes.
