Your patch looks fine.
Yay, my first libtool patch ;)
The proper way to fix it could be to do a binary search over multiples of 2 instead of the linear search emplyed now. Use a resonable minamal value like 2**13, which leaves only a few options between 2**13 and 2**17, which is the current upper limit for the test. Starting with 2**15, you only need three tests to figure out the maximal command line length, instead of 17. How does that sound?
That sounds great. Please submit a tested patch against the CVS version. Then we can (hopefully) avoid adding specific workarounds for slow machines or broken environments.
There is only one problem: my shell (or m4? whatever language libtool.m4 is written in) scripting skills are nowhere as good as my Java or C skills. So I assume that someone who knows what they are doing in m4 could write it better faster ;) I could provide testing on such slow platforms.
If noone else volunteers to do it, though, then I'll give it a try.
cheers, dalibor topic
