The limit is generally due to where the stack is placed at startup.

You can change that (for the gnu ARM simulator) with the -m flag.   Just
add

      set board_info(arm-sim,sim,options) "-m 8388608"
      set board_info(arm-sim/-mthumb,sim,options) "-m 8388608"

to your site.exp file to give you 8M of memory. 


The above is needed for the Java tests anyway.
