I've got a recurring problem with make under NetBSD 1.0.
It gets errors like "execvp: /bin: path too long". If I try the
make again, it sometimes works. Here's some example output:

bash $ make
cc -g  -c tst.c
execvp: /usr/local/bin: path too long
execvp: /bin: path too long
execvp: /usr/bin: path too long
execvp: /sbin: path too long
execvp: /usr/sbin: path too long
execvp: /etc: path too long
execvp: /usr/games: path too long
cc: not found
*** Error code 1

This error does NOT seem to happen with gmake. It doesn't happen
if I use csh as my shell instead of bash. Any ideas? (Is this a FAQ?)

Thanks for your help,
Rob.
