This is a longstanding behavior, from the upstream code[1]: /* Set the stack limit huge so that alloca does not fail. */ I agree that it would make sense to reset the stack limit when running outside commands.

"ulimit" isn't in make's list of built-in commands to run through the shell. Cloning. Thanks for a pleasant report.
