Re: Can't build GDB 4.18 under Cygnus 2.0.1

[Roger Cruz <rogerc@ignitus.com>]

I think I have narrowed down the problem of building GDB 4.18 with CygWin 20.1.  It
appears to be that the maximum command line has been exceeded.  The line as shown
below has 615 characters.  If I start removing directory names, it works fine when
the number is brought down to 412.  Is there any way that I can get around this
problem?  Does CygWin allow you to control the maximum line length?

Any ideas are welcome.  I'm anxious to get this building on a PC so I can work from
home!
Thanks.
