[This is an inappropriate question for R-help.  Perhaps R-devel (see the 
posting guide) but more likely a FreeBSD mailing list.  Moved to R-devel.]

R itself does not refer to __builtin_alloca.  That is something being 
mapped by the FreeBSD headers, and it should be `builtin' using gcc.  (No 
version of alloca is appearing as an import in error.o on Linux or Solaris 
using gcc.)  So it looks like an inconsistency between your compiler and 
OS.
