GCC: limitation with the command line length

[Neatsoul]

Hello everybody,

First of all I would like to thank you to try to help me.

After many tests, I succeeded in compiling my project in the following
situation :
- I launched cygwin (version 1.5.24), the bash is in the version 3.2.
- I called another version of the bash (which is located in an other
old version of cygwin) which is 2.05b.
- I launched the following command "gcc @filename" with the version
3.4.4 of gcc. "filename" is the filename of a file which contains all
the options to compile and which has a size > 32K.

If I don't change the version of the bash, the "@" option is not
recognized with the same version of gcc...Why ? I believed that the
"@" option depends from gcc and not the bash ...

This solution doesn't suit me because i need to mix with the bash
version of a cygwin and the gcc version of another ...

Have you got some new idea ?

Best Regards
