I guess the recursive function is in 'gcc'.

Anyway, if you look at the code (probably you've already looked), you'll find
that though it's long, it's simple. I mean, there is a whole lot of similar
relatively simple expressions like this one:

____accumulator[sample_number] += 5.37523999999999973e-09 *
exp(-5.40939200000000003e-06 * d_sample_number) * cos(1.95404999999999995e-01 *
two_pi_times_sample_number - (1.32515999999999989e+00));
.

So, simplistically, because the expressions are simple and the optimization
level is low, I do not see too much place for deep recursion, but I'm
unfamiliar with 'gcc' internals.
