This would be trivial. Libtool doesn't measure the exact command-line
length, just a power of two or so. Since it can't know for sure how
much additional command-line space the compiler driver is going to
add, measuring the exact length is kind of pointless. You can
override the measured value by setting lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len in your
environment. Look for this variable name in ltconfig for the gory
details.
