Not sure where the problem might be; perhaps a shell that has a very low limitation in terms of the argument list size. The command line from your transcript doesn't look all that long! If you have other shells such as bash or zsh, try "make SHELL=bash", for instance (you don't have to reconfigure to try this out). Another thing that you can try is build GDB from /tmp. That should reduce the size of some of the arguments used in the command that failed. -- Joel
