There is no option for that use "new" to allocate the array instead of
declaring it on the stack.

While I agree with the given suggestion to allocate large objects on
the heap instead of the stack, there is a way to increase the stack
size on Windows. We use something like the following in our projects
where we need a larger stack on Windows:

package Linker is
case OS is
when "UNIX" =>
null;
when "Windows_NT" =>
for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("--stack=0x2000000,0x10000");
end case;
end Linker;
