Eh, I replied too soon, -Wno-vla doesn't work with my compiler:

     $ rm -f builtin/am.sp && make V=1 builtin/am.sp
     cgcc -no-compile -I. -I.   -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -pipe -O2 -g -march=native  -I. -DHAVE_SYSINFO -DGIT_HOST_CPU="\"x86_64\"" -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H  -DUSE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND -DSUPPORTS_SIMPLE_IPC -DSHA1_DC -DSHA1DC_NO_STANDARD_INCLUDES -DSHA1DC_INIT_SAFE_HASH_DEFAULT=0 -DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_SHA1_C="\"git-compat-util.h\"" -DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_UBC_CHECK_C="\"git-compat-util.h\"" -DSHA256_BLK  -DHAVE_PATHS_H -DHAVE_DEV_TTY -DHAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME -DHAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC -DHAVE_SYNC_FILE_RANGE -DHAVE_GETDELIM '-DPROCFS_EXECUTABLE_PATH="/proc/self/exe"' -DFREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES -DNO_STRLCPY -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"'  \
