Hi
I wanted to add a couple of words that another solution would be to
add an option to xargs in target.mk
xargs -n NNN
where NNN is less than the OS limit.
(That helped me to build LambdaVM on windows, there are quite a lot of
class files there, and no SPLITOBJS will obviously help)
Editing target.mk isn't a good thing, probably. Maybe some $XARGSOPTS
could be introduced...
BUT trying to register on the wiki resulted in an error with this
python traceback

2007/6/4, Simon Peyton-Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've extended the "what to look for if your build fails" section in
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows
Please do keep adding to this page! Every time you trip over something, think
about whether your experience could be used to help someone else.

| Untested: setting SplitObjs=NO in build.mk might help (as there will be less
| object files to pass to ar.
|
