serde_codegen: seems to overflow its stack on travis (via docker)

[Byron]

When using serde on OSX on travis-ci in a docker container (the new default), the build script will overflow its stack.

This does not happen when using serde_codegen on a real OSX system.

How to reproduce

One could fork yup-oauth, setup travis for the fork, and reproduce it that way.

Otherwise, one can alter .travis.yml of this repository as follows:

os:
  - linux
  - osx  # enable osx
before_script:
# assure travis-cargo is working on osx (need different PATH)
- pip install 'travis-cargo<0.2' --user  && export PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Stack seems to overflow on OS X < 10.11 El Capitan. I get this failure on 10.10 Yosemite and on Travis, which runs 10.9.5.

I think this one is strongly related to serde-deprecated/syntex#33 , if not the same.
It may be interesting to see that the issue occours both with nightly, and stable.

Is there any work around for this? I'm porting a project from rustc-serialize to serde 0.7 and am hitting this same wall. (I'm on OSX) if there's any significance there.

https://github.com/jimmycuadra/docker-rust#usage seems to be a work around for me

As others have mentioned - this also breaks builds on OS X 10.10.5 (no Docker container or travis involved). Does anyone have a workaround? I dread upgrading to El Capitan.
