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.
