FreeBSD latex 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue Feb 12 21:28:36 NZDT 2002     root@latex:/usr/src/sys/compile/latex  alpha

>Description:
the compile fails when it tries to #include alloca.h at some point early on in the compile stage.
i'd go back and get the complete log, except that it took around 2 or 3 hours to build on my 233mhz alpha after i had created the patch below.
>How-To-Repeat:
on an alpha machine
cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs21 && make
>Fix:
the following patch should be added under editors/emacs21/files
