Perhaps you think about the 127-character limitation

Hello bug-make readers,
Xan Lopez brought up an interesting Automake issue about long commands
that led us to an issue GNU make could be more helpful with[1][2]:
Linux >= 2.6.23 has removed the in-kernel hardwired command line length
limit[3]. So, once stack size has been increased sufficiently
