[MinGW-dvlpr] _alloca/_chkstk??

[Danny S. <dan...@cl...>]

Does any one really know why GCC (and other windows compilers) insert
code for checking stack when allocating more than a page?

I can see where it would be useful with SEH exceptions (the OS throws an
0x80010001 exception if stack cannot be grown) but how else is needed?
