I'm not sure what you're saying. The limitation on command-line

When gcc.exe invokes cc1.exe, the limitation is not the command shell.
Correct.
In Windows, there is much less of a limitation there; CreateProcess has
a 32K limit. However, Win2K's command shell was much more limited.
Therefore, the primary problem is in getting arguments into the driver;
getting things from the driver to subprocesses is much less problematic,
in practice.
