This will only work with GCC, since it is a GCC specific extension. It
is definitely not ANSI or ISO C. (Note that I agree that it is a very
handy feature, which almost entirely removes the need for an alloca()
function.)

I'm sorry, but that is not always possible or desired. There are lots
of platforms that GCC doesn't handle. And GCC has enough problems of
its own also... :)

Please try to adhere to ANSI and/or ISO standards, that is IMHO the
proper way of handling this type of problem.
