A new binary format was introduced a while back. Use the "stack"  
command from the new bin-utils (or was that mint-utils?) package.
It can change the stack size of both old and new binary formats:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Usage: stack [OPTIONS] INPUTFILE ...
Display and manipulate stack setting of MiNT executables.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory to short options too.
  -P, --print                    just print stack size
  -S, --fix=SIZE, --size=SIZE    change stack size to SIZE bytes
  -s, --silent                   print only error messages
  -q, --quiet                    same as -s, --silent
  -v, --verbose                  enable verbose diagnostic output
  -h, --help                     display this help and exit
  -V, --version                  output version information and exit

If INPUTFILE is missing, `a.out' is assumed.

The stacksize is only modified when option -S is given.  The SIZE
argument may optionally be followed by one of the modifiers `k'
(kilo bytes) or `M' (mega bytes).
