It hit the error with ARG_MAX at 20K, max_cmd_len at 15K, and
confusingly, it hit it doing the ld -r (so no driver overhead). The same
ld -r command worked fine outside of libtool, but failed consistently
when libtool attempted it. I did not think to look at the environment,
and we have since rebuilt the kernel with large_ncargs_enabled (so new
ARG_MAX is 200K), so can not reproduce.

Not helpful, I know.
