Stack limit is an operating system function, not a gcc facility.  For 
example, you would look up 'info ulimit' if your OS supports that.  In 
some systems, you must first increase the stack size as superuser.  If 
you invoke threads, responsibility for stack size may shift to the 
threading library.
