I saw this problem on 1.6.0.  My quick'n'dirty solution was to copy the command that was echoed to stdout, paste the command into an editor, save the file, and execute the file.
 
I haven't taken the time to figure out a real solution, but I believe you are correct, it is some sort of shell limitation.  I expect to see the same problem when I try to build 1.7.0.

Subject: RE: Help with Xerces 1.5.2 ... for SGI IRIX version 6.5

when building I get the following error
 
gmake[1] execvp: g++ arglist too long
gmake *** [lib/libxerces-c1_5_2.so] Error 127
 
the appears that the makefile is expanding the full path for each .so and that the shell can't handle it.
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this error, where this error might be define and what you did to fix it.
 
thanks
 
Don
