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. 

I have filed a bug report on xargs:
