Verified that 2.69c successfully detects alloca on NetBSD 9.0, with no additional code changes required.

`AC_FUNC_ALLOCA should never define a prototype on the BSDs. Bump revision.`
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/41434322be65bb828b7d0f6d6c8c3a236b33576b

Patch deals with alloca detection and includes where a special condition was added for BSD variance to redirect to `stdlib.h`. That check has been heavily modified since, so requires careful analysis before we can merge it.

Comments from Zack W.

> Upstream AC_FUNC_ALLOCA unconditionally includes stdlib.h, which is what I was going to say we ought to do instead of this patch. We should still verify that alloca is successfully detected on NetBSD. Please file a bug for this one.
