what about making /sbin/init a shell script that execs into s6-l-i?
e. g. /sbin/init (symlink to /sbin/s6-init.sh):
#!/bin/mksh
trap : SIGINT SIGQUIT
umask 0022
ulimit -Sc 0 # set soft limit for coredumpsize here
cd /
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/busybox:/toybox"
export PATH
hostname darkstar # set default hostname, can be changed later
exec s6-setsid -sI /bin/s6-linux-init -c "/etc/s6-linux-init/current" -m 0022 \
-p "$PATH" -s "/run/initenv" -- ${1+"$@"}
now you can set both limits (soft and hard) in the right place
via ulimit -S -c (soft) and ulimit -H -c (hard) using the shell's "ulimit"
builtin.
