Zoxc has repeatedly refused reasonable requests to alter the patch to fit the standards of upstream. Because of this (and because I am rather tired of not having stack probes, with my embedded system not having functional guard pages), I'll make a hostile fork of their patch soon and get it through the pipeline. Stay tuned.

Late comment, but aren't stack probes entirely predicated on having working guard pages? I.e. they only exist to guarantee that the guard page is accessed before anything else, when a frame is larger than the page.
Ah, interesting. I hadn't gleamed that from the threads. It's great to hear that there's a chance that this will be supported though!
