Yes, it would be nice if you got an error message.  But once you
notice a .stackdump file has magically appeared, then
$ gcc -o a.exe starray.c

$ ./a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ cat a.exe.stackdump
Exception: STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW at rip=001004010C6
  <.. snip ..>

Search for "cygwin STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW" and find
  https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/issues/144

which gives you
$ gcc -o a.exe -Wl,--stack,0x1000000 starray.c

$ ./a

$ peflags -x a.exe
a.exe: stack reserve size      : 16777216 (0x1000000) bytes

Lee
