Try 2.6.1 RC 16 and see if it is fixed.

What OS/Generator/Compiler are you using?

It didn't help. I'm using RHEL5.1 / Unix Makefiles / gcc-4.1.2

I may have actually stated the problem incorrectly. I'm building a
static library with a lot of object files in it. When it's done it
just makes one long `ar cr <OBJECTS>` list and the list is too long.

All the fixes you've seen are for Windows with its 32k command line length limit. This is the first time I've seen someone with so many object files that it gives Linux a problem. What is the error message that you get?

Try adding the lines below to your project (just to see if it helps, not as a permanent solution). They're from Windows-gcc.cmake and are used for long link lines on Windows. They tell CMake how to split up the static archive creation into multiple invocations of the archiver. If this helps we can probably just use the same thing for all platforms.
