644890 - "Argument list too long" when building libXUL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 644081

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Biggar]

Error below. I can work around this by adding --verbose to expandlibs_exec, and then rewriting the output to use relative paths rather than absolute ones. Is that something which will work generally? If so, I can write a patch.
