Yes, other applications have already had similar issues, and we've fixed=20
that by recoding them to not assume that SIGSTKSZ is an integer constant=20
expression. See, for example, this patch to Gnulib last September:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=3Df9e2b20a12a230e=
fa30f1d479563ae07d276a94b

This patch appears in the latest GNU grep, for example.
