Meson doesn't interpret what's set in CFLAGS, but rather simply appeds it to the command line. Thus any logic which is based on the optimization level will not work. Note the caveat in the docs and instruct users to use ``--optimization=N`` instead.

When building without optimization on clang, certain big functions trip the stack size limit despite not actually reaching it. Relax the stack limit size for clang without optimization.
