>Description:
Seems that using deep (long named) directory for sources (in my case is 
/zbuilder/src/src-stable-10-clone) produced this error at stage world/kernel install.

Probably either some part of Makefiles must be rewritten (from * to find+exec), or MAX_ARGS should be raised (but this will be temporary fix anyway)
