Did "make dep" and about halfway through got the following error message (the line that begins "find..." is shortened considerably): "scripts/mkdep -- `find /root/benh-ker....` > .hdepend /bin/sh: scripts/mkdep: Argument list too long make: *** [dep-files] Error 126" It's pretty clear to me that the last line being executed by scripts/mkdep is too long, and that's what the machine is tripping over.

Hrm...this is what I was planning to do, but mkdep isn't a shell script -- it's a C file that (I guess) gets compiled on the fly to pull in the config variables. So there isn't a line somewhere that I can just cut in half...
The other problem is that almost the entire line that's causing the problem is one find command (it searches for a file in 4 or 5 directories, then does stuff to the result).

On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
