I found the solution, so let me answer my question myself,

This is true.
GCC C++ compiler does not allow to directly use alloca() as it is.
But, If I include alloca.h it works, because
alloca.h has
...
#define alloca(size)  __builtin_alloca(size)
...

BTW, the Darwin system does not have alloca.h ;-)
(Darwin needs to get alloca.h ASAP)

Thank you,
