In the kernel source tree, if I run a stupid find | xargs ls, I now get this: xargs: ls: Argument list too long Which is kind of annoying but I can work around it though make distclean in my kernel tree dies with the same symptom (aka -E2BIG). I run a vanilla 2.6.23-rc9 (Linux version 2.6.23-rc9 (mchouque@shookaylt) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)) #1 Tue Oct 2 08:13:47 EDT 2007) on FC7... Let me know if I can do anything. I'm going to try to bisect the problem after I recompile the kernel without this patch...
