For some reason, Vax-ultrix has a tiny command line length limit in execve
and in /bin/sh.  But for some reason, /bin/csh takes a much longer command
line.

Ultrix for DecStations doesn't have this problem.  Someone needs to tell
DEC to fix this one.

Given that, you can get gdb built by saving the "make" output into a file;
the make will fail with the message you show above.  Then edit the file
to remove everything but the gcc command that does the link.  Then get
csh to execute the file by saying "source file" from csh, where file is
the file you made by editing make's output.

(At least, you can get gdb built if there aren't other problems).
