It shouldn't be a difficult thing to hand-edit in (or at least an approximation
thereof). Its really just a comparison of the current stack pointer in relation
to the current task_struct preformed in the do_IRQ function (so that it check
stack depth on interrupts).
Alternative to this method, or the netdump method I mentioned earlier. If you
have some idea of which function(s) you are likely to be executing when the
stack overflows, you can also use -finstrument-functions as a finer grained
approach to detecting the problem.
