Yes, even if you use __builtin_alloca on i386, gcc 2.9x seems to warn 
about alloca. Whereas gcc 3.2 and 3.3.3 has no problems inlining the 
code, judging by the warnings.

I assume that sysdepCallMethod needs to be inlined for some reason, 
right? If that's the case, then yes, it should be reverted to a macro on 
the arches that use dynamic array allocation and have a gcc 2.9x.
