I can provide some information about Chrome built with -fprofile-generate:

p __static_tls_size
$1 = 114880

Now let's look at how Chrome allocates thread stacks:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/source/search?q=kShutdownDetectorThreadStackSize&origq=kShutdownDetectorThreadStackSize&btnG=Search+Trunk

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/source/search?q=kWorkerThreadStackSize&origq=kWorkerThreadStackSize&btnG=Search+Trunk

are two examples. There are other stack sizes too. From what I have seen, if
the stack size is less than __static_tls_size, it just fails to allocate the
stack. If it is something like 128k, it gets allocated, but soon runs out of
stack into the guard page where it causes a segfault on a random function (as
it allocating locals for the function).
