Just a word of warning after a short skimming of the patch: It seems
like you are using $? with huge amounts of files to create a
commandline. This is quite risky on Linux, where you easily hit the
command length limits of the shell on certain installs (depending on
ulimits). There is solenv/gbuild/Tempfile.mk to work around that (to
create response files). Tempfile.mk btw is the easiest way to trigger
that good old make 3.81 bug.

Best,

Bjoern
