As of recent commit 8bf0ee8d62
"Fortran: Add transfer_between_remotes [PR107635]", we've got 'alloca' usage
in 'libgfortran/caf/single.c:_gfortran_caf_transfer_between_remotes', and
the libgfortran target library fails to build for legacy configurations where
PTX 'alloca' is not available:
../../../../source-gcc/libgfortran/caf/single.c: In function ‘_gfortran_caf_transfer_between_remotes’:
../../../../source-gcc/libgfortran/caf/single.c:675:23: sorry, unimplemented: dynamic stack allocation not supported
675 | transfer_desc = __builtin_alloca (desc_size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../../../source-gcc/libgfortran/caf/single.c:680:20: sorry, unimplemented: dynamic stack allocation not supported
680 | transfer_ptr = __builtin_alloca (*opt_dst_charlen * src_size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[6]: *** [Makefile:4675: caf/single.lo] Error 1
With '-mfake-ptx-alloca', libgfortran again succeeds to build, and compared
to before, we've got only a small number of regressions due to nvptx 'ld'
complaining about 'unresolved symbol __GCC_nvptx__PTX_alloca_not_supported':

That's acceptable for such legacy PTX configurations.
