GCC’s stricter error checking now flags implicit declarations of alloca as an error, breaking compilation for libssp on some systems. This patch includes stdlib.h, which provides the necessary declaration for alloca(3), resolving the issue and allowing libssp to compile correctly. This change was prompted by compilation failures on FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.
