This change to the test needs to be discussed on the appropriate GCC mailing list with Sebastian and I cc'ed.

How large was it? When it works? Is it on the stack?

Gcc tests already accommodate small targets on some tests so there may be an existing define to test or the size really doesn't matter and can be reduced for all targets. These are normally acceptable options to the GCC community.

Or we might be able to change the stack of main() in our harness.

So simple but multiple ways to solve. Just need to figure out the best way.
