I also use 21.4 on Linux from time to time.  Most of the time, I try
not to compile my own though.

I hope we can combine efforts some day.  And I'd like to code review
your fork and see if I want to use it myself.  For which I am not in a

That may not happen any time soon.  See

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-01/msg00151.html

Mitigation:

(setq attempt-stack-overflow-recovery nil
     attempt-orderly-shutdown-on-fatal-signal nil)

This may or may not be documented, taken directly from #emacs.
