FIX for Arg list too long...

[Robert Boehne]

Libtoolers:

I've been splitting libraries into two, three, and four parts,
and I've found that it (reasonably so) depends on the directory
tree (srcdir & builddir) how many parts each library must
be split into.  In short, I fix one, another breaks, and I
don't see this as a reasonable or elegant solution.
Therefore, I have decided to add support for
  IRIX's   -objectlist object_list_file 
  Tru64's  -input <file>
  HP-UX's  -c filename
flags for using a file to specify the input to "ld".  I would like
to prevent the "Arg list too long" errors on every platform possible.

What I need from all of you is some guidance, and possibly notification
of similar flags (and how to use them) on other systems.  As I don't
really have any idea (yet) of how to accomplish this, I would appreciate
any half-baked ideas, sections of man pages, pointers to other
documents,
or whatever you may *think* might help.  I promise to smile big
at least once for every reply I get.  ;)

Thanks,

                  a degree in Mechanical Engineering...
