GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of
a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely
reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);
but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it
by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local
variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different,
in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference.
Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue
a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens.
Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to
v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain.
(Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as
far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12
is much more widespread.)
