This sounds more like a glibc issue.  Try getrusage() -- the "ru_isrss"
member of "struct rusage" reports "integral unshared stack size",
which sounds like it should do what you want (although I have not tested it).

Alternatively, look at the code for GC_get_stack_base() in the Boehm
conservative collector (which is included in the GCC sources).
