The "argument list too long" is of course random crap found errno.  The
real cause is trying to create multiple stdio character devices.  The
other one is the -serial stdio you get by default with -nographic and no
default monitor (-qmp suppresses that one).
 
Character device creation error reporting is generally atrocious.  I'm
working on it.

That suppresses the default -serial, so it should work.  I always use
it, because our defaults are a labyrinth I can do without.
