Hi!
AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN reliably causes a system crash under Tru64 Unix,
V5.1B-PK4 if the number of length of command line arguments is not limited
(one can disable length checking with the proc:exec_disable_arg_limit kernel
option).
I do not know if there is any explicit command in Tru64 to query the maximum
length of the command line. But if
/sbin/sysconfig -q proc exec_disable_arg_limit
returns
proc:
exec_disable_arg_limit = 1
then the iterative test for the maximum length MUST NOT be run. Otherwise,
the system will crash. I hope that a corresponding check will be integrated
into future versions of libtool.
My config: libtool 1.5.10, automake 1.9.4, autoconf 2.59.
Regards,
Hans
