I'm dubious about this. Applications that think they want to fiddle
with the stack size are usually wrong, and applications that think
they want to set the stack address are always wrong. Historically, the
functions were only included in the pthread standard with the
assurance that they would be optional; we can consider programs that
require them to be broken.
