How do I avoid 'compiler limit: compiler stack overflow' while building a model for rapid accelerator mode?

I have a large Simulink model and I am using Rapid Accelerator mode to improvement simulation performance. The model runs fine in Accelerator mode, however, when the model builds for Rapid Accelerator mode, a compiler stack overflow error is thrown by the compiler.

ERROR: The error message indicates as follows: 
'fatal error C1063: compiler limit: compiler stack overflow'

The error message is due to a limitation with the Microsoft compiler running out of stack.  For more information about the Microsoft compiler error C1063, please refer to following online documentation:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-6.0/aa229021(v=vs.60)

The root cause is that the code generated from a large Simulink model is too big and variables that are stored during compilation may end up using all of compiler stack. The default compiler stack size is 1 MB for a Microsoft compiler. Increasing the compiler stack size will resolve this error message. 

The following are few way to increase compiler stack size:

  1) Use EDITBIN on the "cl.exe" file to update the stack size as follows:

• Open a command prompt as administrator mode from the following path:

Start > Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 -> Open 'Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt'

• In the command prompt, navigate to the path of the compiler used in Simulink:

>> cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin

• Execute the following command to set the increase stack size:

>> editbin /STACK:10000000 cl.exe

>> cd amd64

>> editbin /STACK:10000000 cl.exe

2) Use Compiler flag - '/F <stack size>'

• Go to 'Configuration Parameter > Code Generation > Build Process > Build Configuration'. Set this option to 'Specify'
• Add '/F <stack size>' to 'C Compiler' options
