"Arg list too long" during bootstrap

[David Kramer <david@thekramers.net>]

I am bootstrapping gcc 3.4.0 on AIX 5.2 from a binary 3.3.3 I downloaded 
(compiled for 5.1: I could not find a 5.2 one).

The command I used is:
../gcc340src/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/opt/gcc3.4.0 
--with-cpu-rs64a
make -j 12 bootstrap

$CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc -mcpu=rs64a



About an hour and a half into the process, I get this:

This is the second time I saw this. After the first time, I STWF and found 
that it could mean the commands were too long (due to paths), so I moved 
everything to my home directory so all the paths are shorter.  Still got 
it, now I'm down three hours.

Is there anything else that can cause this, or a way around it?

Thanks in advance.
