man xargs?

How are you going to use xargs for

gcc -o myprog `find $dir -name "*.c"`

If $dir is 50 characters long, it only takes 500 files before it overflows a 32k command line.

@file was a *very* useful feature when I worked on compiling libjava one directory at a time. And it solved PR20155 as well.
