There are various places in the NetBSD build system where very long
command lines are used. So you would have to use xargs(1) on all this
places. I came acros this when I build on IRIX. Solution was to increase
the max. command line length with systune(1M). FreeBSD has a sysctl(8)
or kernel option for this.
