So it looks like some targets are at least optionally still using sjlj 
exceptions and would be affected by this change. AFAICT it only makes a 
difference with -fstack-check and would be a bugfix even for those 
targets - correct? Or is there something Ada-specific that makes it 
require more stack?
If it's not Ada-specific, the patch is ok if you also update the tm.texi 
documentation.
