[Bug libgcj/20155] New: libgcj build fails with "execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long"

[gerald at pfeifer dot com]

A full bootstrap including the java frontend (which implies libgcj) fails with
the following error message.

This is a regression from 3.4.x and relatively recent mainline.

Hmm, I would read:

and make sure that this is still there.

Proposed fix to bug

This is the proposed patch based on the fix for PR 17222 that rth's patch later
effectively bipassed.  It is still undergoing testing.	I would appreciate some
other testers also as libjava takes many hours to build under cygwin.

It can be fixed using the per-directory build infrastructure, but .java files
cannot be reliably compiled to the binary-compatibility abi.

At least on Tru64 UNIX (which is affected as mentioned in Comment #12), this is
fixed on mainline by this patch:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-05/msg01552.html

So it should probably be backported to the 4.0 branch.

Confirmed.  Also on FreeBSD this has been fixed on mainline, so I'm removing
the 4.1 tag from the summary.

Having a backport to 4.0 would be great.

Adding Mark so that he can judge the opportunity of a backport.

Removing bug 21624 dependency, because it is indeed fixed on mainline.  If bug
21624 were fixed the command line could be even shorter, but the current
situation on mainline is enough.

I think it would be good to backport this patch, as bootstrap breakage 
is obviously severe.  However, I wouldn't want to force the Java people 
to do something they don't think is safe.  As long as the Java people 
are comfortable with the backport, it's fine by me.
