I have a series that reduces the default warning limit for 64-bit,
but adds some slack for certain options such as KASAN that
are known to cause larger stacks throughout.

MIPS does have larger stack usage than most other architectures
here, and I do account for that with an architecture specific
base value as well, but in order to catch actual bugs in newly
written code, this has to be as small as possible.

What is the stack usage you observe in your configuration?
