What did you do?

Integrating via cgo a 3rd-party library which requires 2mb stack space does not work because stack size is set to default PTHREAD_STACK_MIN (which is less).

The runtime behavior manifests as a deadlocked "panic" call with the following stack:

2359 Thread_1644947
    + 2359 _sigtramp  (in libsystem_platform.dylib) + 26  [0x7fff9656cb3a]
    +   2359 runtime.sigtramp  (in test) + 51  [0x4065fe3]
    +     2359 runtime.sigtrampgo  (in test) + 544  [0x4049000]
    +       2359 runtime.sighandler  (in test) + 1788  [0x404866c]
    +         2359 runtime.(*sigctxt).preparePanic  (in test) + 172  [0x40475fc]

What did you expect to see?

Panic being triggered and a way to set cgo stack size.

What did you see instead?
