--- Comment #3 from Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The reason is rather that no flow analysis is performed by -Wstack-usage, which
means that it cannot distinguish:

int main(void) {
  char *a = __builtin_alloca(4);
  a[0] = 0;
  __builtin_printf("%c", a[0]);
  return 0;
}

from

int main(void) {
  while (1) {
     char *a = __builtin_alloca(4);
     a[0] = 0;
     __builtin_printf("%c", a[0]);
  }

  return 0;
}

so it assumes the worst.
