I can only remember a _warning_ about a too big stack frame; not a

because of too big stack frames in some cases?

The message says something to the effect that stack checking
won't be reliable with large stack frames (where large seems
to start at N_000 sized arrays, say).

Also, -fstack-check is a GCC option, not GNAT-specific. Maybe some
new technology is built into GCC (speculation); as always, most
GCC technologists get inspiration from the Pascal branch of
languages--later.
