bootstrap failure : arg list too long

["Philippe De Muyter" <phdm at macqel dot be>]

When I try to bootstrap a current gcc snapshot (around 2000-03-30), the
bootstrap fails on my m68k-motorola-sysv, where the size limit for
arg-list is 8k (8192 bytes).  This never failed before for me; last time that
I tried that was in december 1999 and it was still successfull.  You'll find
below the output of make bootstrap (I needed to remove the `@' at the beginning
of the make rule).  What seems strange to me is the inclusion of a big 
configuring machinery for cygwin in `Makefile'.  I am building a native
compiler for my m68k-motorola-sysv; that is known at configuration-time; there
is no reason to have a run-time configure machinery for cygwin in `Makefile'.
