[Qemu-discuss] execve failing inside of a qemu chroot with argument list too long

[Dave Flogeras]

I am trying to compile binutils-2.24 within a qemu chroot (well 3
actually, glibc, uclibc, and musl).

I have tried qemu-2.1.0 and 2.1.2 both with the same results.

While running the gold linker tests, I get this failure:


(for i in `seq 1 70000`; do \
   echo "int var_$i __attribute__((section(\"section_$i\"))) = $i;"; \
 done) > many_sections_define.h.tmp
make[4]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long


After googling I found this bug, which led me here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17169


Has anyone else experience this?
