Fixed 6975049: nsk/regression/b4287029 crashes with -Xss64 on solaris-i586

The problem started when we switched to SS12 compilers.
SS12 C++ inlines too much into StubGenerator_generate() - it inlines
all methods defined in StubGenerator class. Just for StubGenerator_generate()
it needs 80K stack:

StubGenerator_generate+0x0006:      subl     $0x0001464c,%esp <<< 0x0001464c == 83532
StubGenerator_generate+0x000c:      call     StubGenerator_generate+0x11  <<< SEGV

The main consumer of stack space is Address object (36 bytes in 32bit VM).
For example, in xmm_copy_forward() method we generate and initialize
separate Address object for each instruction.
And Sun C++ doesn't free these objects space at the end of local scope.

Solution:
Tell C++ to not inline so much by using flag -xspace.
It is not performance critical code since it is executed only during startup.

Tested with failed case.
