Its on AIX os, trying to compile driver module which has around 575 *.c
file using GNU makefile v3.81. Please note AIX driver compiles 32 and 64
bit object, archived togther as one driver instead of two. This same
problem doen't happen on solaris where it compiles 32 and 64 bit has
separate driver for both 32 and 64bit and not seeing this problem on
solaris.

How it looks on our GNUmakefile, if sources specified within the limit
around 450, this error occurs otherwise it reports error the parameter
or environment list are too long.

Sample GNUmakefile
.....

sources                 := x1.c x2.c.......x555.c

I've not seen this myself, looks like a hard coded system limit. is the 
environment list longer than 32KB?

Too allow someone to look further, please provide steps to reproduce, 
including makefile, OS and make --version info.

Kind regards
Jon
