Short term workaround in Mesa could be checking current thread's stack size
before compilation and fixing the size, if it's set too low by the application.

As to longer term solution... Just changing compiler to do larger allocs from
heap instead of using stack, will still assume certain amount of stack being
free, and it's not easy to track how much each compiler commit changes that.
-> Better would be doing compilation in separate thread (i.e. where application
won't mess with its stack size).
