Comment #6 on issue 1821 by percival.music.ca: GUB argument list too long
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1821

I see this behaviour on GUB master. I've attached the exact failing command (extracted from the logs), which is longer than you thought, probably due to long directory names:
  gperciva@gperciva-desktop:/main/src/gub$ wc fail-command.txt
       2   1017 131756 fail-command.txt

apparently POSIX itself only guarantees 4k:
  http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Argument-list-too-long
however, my GUB setup appears to allow 2M.
  GUB-ENV /main/src/gub$ getconf ARG_MAX
  2097152
I also note that the coreutils webpage claims that this limitation was removed in linux 2.6.23; I'm using 2.6.32-33 so this shouldn't be an issue?


Any suggestions?
