Yes and no.  At least, as of the latest spec I've got (which admittedly
is a very late C99 draft, not the standard itself).

_NETBSD_SOURCE and __builtin_alloca are each in reserved-for-any-use
namespace, so there are no grounds for citing the standard as basis for
any behaviour whatsoever from that.

Ignoring that issue - if, say, they were NETBSD_SOURCE and
builtin_alloca instead - then I believe you are correct.
