Aside from it depending on a particular stack architecture which may
not be shared by all hardware, it doesn't solve the problem of knowing
how much stack space will be occupied by the average call frame.

And even if you could manage to divide the available space by the
average size, that's still not a guarantee you won't run out if a
number of frames are larger than average.
