The maximum size of the environment for a new process (which includes not only the environment variables but also the command line arguments) is a limit set by the operating system (the kernel). It has nothing to do with GNU make and there is no possible way that GNU make can increase that limit: it's not modifiable from user space (in fact typically it can't be modified except by recompiling the kernel). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
