You need a patched Make: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.make.bugs/4219
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2011-12-18 03:37:01 PST 
This is still failing even with patched make:

The discussion in that downstream bug is a bit confusing, hard to follow. :(
Do you get some progress in the build after applying the suggestion of comment 15 of that bug?

This is problem from os. by default maximum argument size is hard coded in linux source. i have solved this issue by making changes in linux source limits.h.
ARG_MAX like macro. increase this value. make kernel and install it.
Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2012-05-06 01:57:24 PDT 
Is not possible to set ARG_MAX without needing to change the source?

no, it is not possible to change

Yes, with ulimit -s, you can see it being increased on getconf ARG_MAX.


The problem is that even after increasing this to ulimit -s unlimited, I still get:

make[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[1]: *** [libWebCore.la] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/build/shell/src/webkit-1.9.6'

## Webkit version: 1.9.6

CMake fixes all these issues.
