--- Comment #7 from Costas Argyris <costas.argyris at gmail dot com> --- (In reply to John Soo from comment #6) > This is not a Windows-only bug, so I don't think it is fixed. Althought it is not mentioned explicitly in the title of this PR, the original reporter did describe it as Windows-specific problem: "GCC does not use response files for %D and %I handling (see do_spec_1), so if you have a project which contrains a lot of Includes or library directories cc1 or collect2 respectively will overflow the commandline limit on Windows and error out." Also, it is typically Windows that suffers from this limitation of command line length.
