cp - Argument list too long

[Gustafson, James]

Help, 


I am trying to build an application and its directory structures are quite
large.  It is using autoconf to copy the files from the source tree to the
build tree and it is failing.  When I try to manually enter the cp command,
I get an "Argument list too long"

Is there a way to get around what appears to be a 64 character limit to the
arglist?

Thanks for your help,
Jim Gustafson
