Summary: /usr/bin/xargs: rm: Argument list too long during make distclean in cross chroot Project: findutils Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tue 14 Aug 2012 12:22:46 PM UTC Category: xargs Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Wrong result Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: David Cullen Originator Email: david.cul...@koe-americas.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: None Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I am building the Linux kernel in a cross chroot environment. When I run "make distclean", the following messages are emitted: [user@host:/home/work/linux]: make distclean /usr/bin/xargs: rm: Argument list too long make: *** [clean] Error 126 I create the cross chroot environment by making a copy of the root file system from an ARM system. I copy qemu-arm-static to /usr/bin and then chroot into the root file system. If I modify the make file to pass "-s 122880" to xargs, it fixes the problem. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37093> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
