FRAME_WARN is a poor canary. First, it does not necessarily indicate
that a build is faulty (a single bloated stack frame won't crash the
system).
Second, devs are unlikely to fix a function because its stack frame is
too big under some exotic tool+compiler combination.
So the remaining option would be to just increase the frame size every
time a new function surpasses the limit.
