Certainly not.  It is not even correct to assume that there IS a stack
as such; some implementations thread activation records together as
linked segments.

Yes -- figure out what it is that your program REALLY needs to be doing
(saving stack frames cannot possibly be an application requirement),
then devise an alternate solution that uses portable techniques.
