One way to do it would be to break it into several loops. Assuming the
bash shell, you could do something like (untested):
for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do \
t=$$((x * 1000); \
for i in `seq $$((t - 999)) $$t`; do \
echo ... ; \
done; \
done >> largefile.make
that is, instead of one long loop, it's now 10 smaller loops (but with
10000 entries, you might need to do even more loops of smaller
iterations).
uhm, thats a fix for the wrong part of the makefile =)
the for-loop was just a quick hack to overflow the environment-space of
the SHELL (and maybe to show that make-vars can hold much more memory
than a processes environment).
In my real-world-makefile, the variable is created by many complex
calculations, which are not part of a make-target.
In short: I need a replacement for the "@echo $(LARGE_VAR)"-line
