The other "check" targets have check in their name.
Can we follow this naming convention and call it checkstackusage?

All this belongs to a script - for example named

    scripts/checkstackusage.sh

The top-level Makefile shall be a thin driver and there are too much

in that file. but this is no excuse for adding more.
