alloca.h does not exist in FreeBSD.

[Ton Voon]

Andy,

Yup, that was easier than having to upgrade to a newer coreutils!

Turns out I was missing the alloca_.h and alloca.c files from  
coreutils-5.96. I've just committed it into CVS. Still compiles on my  
MacOSX box. Please try the snapshot when it is next created.

If you want to make sure the plugins always compiles on your  
platform, please look at the tinderbox server: http:// 
tinderbox.altinity.org. You can setup regular builds on your box, so  
we get a better picture of which platforms work with the latest builds.
