I don't know of a reason not to use --enable-alloca=malloc-reentrant yet. (I just did this myself.) I guess we should really try to alert the GMP authors, debian maintainers etc. to this isse and try to get them to use malloc-reentrant by default instead of just "reentrant".

Are there any good reasons why we should not always compile GMP with --enable-alloca=malloc-reentrant, now that we know both the cause of and solution to the problem?
