I agree for MINSIGSTKSZ.  We could still raise SIGSTKSZ if we think
that will be more future-proof (SIGSTKSZ would be less than the magic
4*MINSIGSTKSZ that most arches assume, unless SIGSTKSZ is made >=20KB).

Those might be independent changes.  The definition of MINSIGSTKSZ
is definitely broken right now, whereas SIGSTKSZ could be debated,
but isn't actually broken.
