1.3.12 & XP command line limit exceeded

[Brian Post]

We are using Cygwin to host Sony's PS2 version of the GCC compiler to
build our PS2 game.

I use ee-ar to build some libraries and have found a problem where a
command line length of  > 32K fails with an error. I have included in
4Cygwin.zip because of list 100000 bytes limit an example which works &
one that fails & the results of cygcheck. The working command line is
21941 characters long while the one that fail is 34651 characters long.
I tried making it less than 32K but that didn't work.

The path for ee-ar also contains the same version of the Cygwin1.dll as
per my subject line.

I have verified that by changing the root folder path from
/Projects/thefarm/source/3rdparty/RenderWare/rwsdk3.5 to /RW/rwsdk3.5 it
completes successfully.

Also when pasting these command lines into a Cygwin window after filling
a number of lines it then seems to keep overwriting the last line. It
seemed to be limited to the # of visible lines in the output window (IE
25 for an 80x25 window)

Thanks for your time,
