Isn't it better to use `getrlimit' to find out the max stack size, than
to set up arbitrary limits (and proliferate system-specific definitions
of GDB_MAX_ALLOCA)? At least on systems where `getrlimit' is available,
I think we should use it.
(FWIW, 1MB is too large for DJGPP, whose runtime stack defaults to
512KB. `getrlimit' is supported, so it will tell.)
