From: Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

The function f1a, executed on a stack of size 32k, allocates an object of
size 32k on the stack.  Make the stack variables static to reduce
excessive stack usage.

(cherry picked from commit f841c97e515a1673485a2b12b3c280073d737890)

	* stdlib/tst-setcontext9.c (f1a): Make st2 static.
	(do_test): Make st1 static.
