Not only that: make may exec() sh -c "command", and, if this command
exceeds the command-line length, we lose as well. That's the reason
why I had first done it using GNU make exceptions. And I really don't
see a reasonable way out of it. Hmm... Unless we do something like:
libgcj.la: libgcj.objectlist
libgcj.objectlist: $(libgcj_la_OBJECTS:.lo=.loX) $(libgcj_la_LIBADD:.lo=.loX)
	@ls -1 | sed -n 's,\.loX$,ドル.lo,p' > $@
.lo.loX:
	@echo $< > $@
