We can fix this on unstable buildbots too:
- SPARC: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~gbournou/CSE131/sparcstack.html
- RISC-V: https://riscv-programming.org/ale-exercise-book/book/ch08-03-stack-and-frame-pointers.html#stack-and-frame-pointers
Given that most architectures need to tweak FRAME_POINTER_NEXT_OFFSET & FRAME_POINTER_RETURN_OFFSET, and it looks like those are the only things that need tweaking, would it make sense to set them in configure/pyconfig.h, like _Py_STACK_GROWS_DOWN?
