(This plagues me in LibreOffice development, where make routinely restarts that way, some recipe calls gdb to generate a core backtrace, and gdb runs into infinite recursion on main thread due to <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61460#c1> "Demangler crash (GDB PR 17043)", causing its stack to grow beyond limit and the machine to crawl to a halt.)

There is a fix upstream, <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=a3d8c086d54c112fecfa2b9026a32a14f741f5f5> "* main.c (main): [SV 48009] Reset stack limit for make re-exec.", would be great if that could be backported to F24.
