Can anyone tell me whether increasing the stack size would increase
the
maximum command length?
Unlikely. That limit is set at kernel build time, in the kern.argmax
parameter which is a maximum byte count. On MacOS X (since before Snow
Leopard and at least though Mojave) this is 256K. Looking at the ticket,
is seems that in your case the command line is close to 270K and that
using the default install prefix would cut about 50K from that.
