I'm not sure if you can control the stack size of the main task. When 
needed, the advice I've seen is to have a dummy (empty) main procedure 
and put all computation in a regular task, where you can use pragma 
Stack_Size.

Though this can be a problem if you're using a runtime without tasking 
or some other similar restrictions, I guess...

This is in the Ada side of things. The linker argument is the operating 
system counterpart, and I don't know the fine interactions between the two.
