Re: https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1861#c6923 GNU differs from Solaris
when -s and -L are used
together:

GNU<pre>$ printf '1234567890\n1234567890\n' | xargs -L 2 -s 20 echo
xargs: argument list too long</pre>
Solaris<pre>$ printf '1234567890\n1234567890\n' | xargs -L 2 -s 20 echo
1234567890
1234567890
$ printf '1234567890\n1234567890\n' | xargs -x -L 2 -s 20 echo
xargs: Argument list too long</pre>
Seems odd that GNU would take away the user's ability to choose whether
they want -x to be in effect or not with -L. As it happens, the behaviour
of -x was recently the subject of bug
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1853 and its resolution
requires the Solaris behaviour here.
