Ah, there is a fix for this:  Create a file with all objects listed in
it.  Use it as argument to the libtool option -objectlist.

If you want to create the file from a Makefile, and have all the object
names in a variable, you could do
  echo $(ALLOBJECTS) | tr ' ' '\n' > libfoo.objectlist

but it could possibly fail as well (the shell command being too long,
too), leaving you with the need to resort to some other means to create
the list, possibly by using make variables which contain only subsets of
object names which are short enough for the command line.

If that still fails, but now inside libtool, post as decribed above.

Cheers,
Ralf
