bug#5191: 23.1.90; Make target compile-main fails under GNU/Linux Kernel 2.6.16

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

With the checkout today the build failed on a GNU/Linux Kernel
2.6.16. The problem ist the make target "compile-main" in the lisp 
directory.

$ LANG=en_US make compile-main
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/maierh/build/cvs/emacs/lisp'
make[1]: execvp: echo: Argument list too long
make[1]: *** [/home/maierh/build/cvs/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-alias.elc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/maierh/build/cvs/emacs/lisp'
make: *** [compile-main] Error 2
