On Irix, the command line is reasonable short. "man sh" says:
Sometimes, particularly when using wildcards, the shell will fail to execute
a command, and complain with the message
arg list too long
This can often be avoided by using multiple commands, the xargs(1) command,
or by increasing the ncargs kernel parameter with the systune(1m) command.
I have doubled the command line length from default of 20480 to 40960 with
the command:
systune ncargs 40960
This has helped with other applications that use libtool. Haven't tried it
with gsl.
