Re: gnumake[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: The parameter or environment lists are too long

[Samuel Klatchko]

This is most likely a limitation of the OS.  On Solaris, exec as having the
error:
        E2BIG
           The number of bytes in the new process's argument list
           is  greater  than  the system-imposed limit of ARG_MAX
           bytes. The argument list limit is sum of the  size  of
           the  argument  list plus the size of the environment's
           exported shell variables.

Do you have a large environment that is eating up the bytes or is it just a
very long command line?
