The reason for this is, that jam's configured maximal command line length (40 KB) is greater than our kernel limit (16 KB), hence the line gets truncated, resulting in the above error.

Interestingly the auto tools configure scripts determine our command line length to be 4096 bytes. Probably a limit our bash is configured to.

This is still happening as of hrev25993 and I believe should be added as a blocker to self hosting. I run into the vfork issue when building on Haiku with 512Meg of ram, but when increasing the ram to 1GB it then runs into this issue.

Replying to scottmc:

I don't think, this ticket is related to the memory problem. As I commented earlier it was most likely caused by the command line length limit and should be fixed in hrev26119. I haven't tested it yet though and probably won't anytime soon. If anyone can verify that it's fixed, please close the ticket.

jam, and "jam clean", on haiku trunk, works fine for me as of hrev26121.

Thanks!
