I have a side question related to the same code.

Currently __STACK_LIMIT is constant, but I would like the preamble to
verify stack overflow for multithreaded context, i.e. __STACK_LIMIT will
depend on the current running thread. Is there any reason, why it's not a
function? Any objections if I do some refactoring and make it a function?
For a simple case that could be a weak symbol that returns a constant.
