It is ansi C standard code. There is an implementation limitation (stack size) that this program runs into. However that doesn't violate the C standard in any way, because the standard doesn't specify available stack space.

So the program is compatible with certain C implementations in certain configurations. Given the C standard allows a C implementation to pick any stack size they like (including zero) we could claim that about all valid C programs that make any use of the stack.
