  % gcc -v --help |& grep stack
    -fstack-limit-register=<register>  Trap if the stack goes past <register>
    -fstack-limit-symbol=<name>  Trap if the stack goes past symbol <name>
    -fstack-check           Insert stack checking code into the program
    -fomit-frame-pointer    When possible do not generate stack frames
    -fdefer-pop             Defer popping functions args from stack until later
    -fstack-checking        Enable stack checking (same as `{$S+}')
    -fno-stack-checking     Disable stack checking (same as `{$S-} (default)')
    -mstack-arg-probe         Enable stack probing
    -mpreferred-stack-boundar Attempt to keep stack aligned to this power of 2
    --stack <size>                     Set size of the initial stack
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

However, this may actually also be a sign that you need to run rebaseall.

See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase*.README .
