Comment (by tim-m89):

 @Phyx-

 The specific number 0x7E000 was found by finding a number that worked and
 1 that didn't, trying the half way point, and repeating until I found a
 number where no 1 byte, 4 byte or whole page increment would work. Why 126
 pages? I just don't know.

 @awson

 The original hard coded stack size is still getting passed to gcc in the
 linker stage though, and it appears that the hard coded argument is taking
 precedence (perhaps because it occurs afterwards in the gcc invocation?).
 So I can't just specify it as an argument ghc should pass to the linker.
