I’ve responded mainly to the “build with a larger stack” part.
If the issue at hand is frequent enough (which I gather is not
the case), it may make sense to document the workaround in
etc/PROBLEMS until the problem gets fixed properly. (There’s a
passing mention of using ‘ulimit’ to increase stack size for
Emacs proper already, BTW.)
