Doing a "bmake readme" in the pkgsrc root outputs:

Hmm - now I'm wondering if this is an OS issue.  IRIX seems to
want to only accept a very small number of command-line arguments, and
I'm not sure how (or if) I can alter this.  For example, doing a "grep
foo *" in a directory with even only a few hundred items will result in
"Arg list too long".  Is this limit perhaps being reached here?

Oops...

... repeatably.  An OS-headers problem rather than a package problem I
guess, but is there a standard (e.g. won't be removed on a "bmake
clean") way to alter the package to add the additional include?

"bmake readme" on IRIX

Could parameters to genreadme.awk be passed in chunks, rather than all-at-once?
