While recompiling gpc with bash 2.04 it popped out an error which was not present under bash 2.03
The following two lines display the error

> bash
sh-2.04$ chmod a-x /djgpp/gnu/gcc-2.952/install.djg/doc/gpc/docdemos/*
sh: c:/djgpp/bin/chmod.exe: Argument list too long (E2BIG)

since this directory contains nearly 200 files with rather long filenames, the argument list expands
indeed to something rather long. This is coped with in bare djgpp (same command under command.com
which does not expands the argument), and is correct also with the previous bash 2.03 (parameters
transmitted with a response file with no length limit I presume).
What has been changed ?

Hope this helps

Maurice
