It's a file that requires a lot of stack depth, indeed.

The lisp/Makefile.in pushes it up to 1200 and AFAIK this is sufficient
to bootstrap.  But maybe there are cases where a recompile ends up
recompiling in a different order and so more of the files are still
uncompiled, thus needing more stack space.
