Yes, at least that. (I simply don't know what other platforms might have trouble with that. MSDOS uses the same code as Posix.) > I have locally implemented your 'echo' idea.

You cannot break the Windows build, since Windows does not use any of the Makefile.in files. > (What is the length limit?) It depends on the Windows version and the shell used. Modern Windows systems have a 32KB limit, assuming no weird shell is installed. > Anyway, what was the solution that you had in mind for this? Is this still an issue, given that you installed a different method?
