>Description:
The kern.argmax (sysctl) kernel limit for a command line defaults to 256kB.
This is not enough any longer: www/grafana has too many distfiles, some rust
programs have longer command lines when linking.

Other operating systems ave higher defaults as well:
Linux, macOS: 1MB
FreeBSD, OpenBSD: 512kB

We should bump the default limit.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try building wip/grafana, or some rust programs (depending on the path set up).

Yes, but we need to rearrange things in the exec path to make that work
well on tiny memory machines, so it is not just bumping up the constant.
