           Summary: failing build: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.5.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: o.kullmann@swansea.ac.uk


When building libgfortran a long line with around 600 entries of the
form .libs/maxloc0_16_r16.o is created, which due to these 600 entries
has already around 11000 characters, which for older Linux systems makes
the build fail.

I have discussed this on the mailing list, and was encouraged to submit
this as a bug.

The error message and the context:
