The combined length of object names in gl_LIBOBJS can get pretty close
to the line limit of some 'make' implementations, or, FWIW, the portable
text file format limit.
As Autoconf 2.60 allows newlines in substituted values, there's an easy
fix for users of new Autoconf. WDYT?
Cheers,
Ralf

* gnulib-tool (func_emit_initmacro_end): If Autoconf-2.60 or
newer is required anyway, line-wrap gl_LIBOBJS and gl_LTLIBOBJS
to prevent exceeding portable line length limitations.
