Hi, Not so long ago I've started encountering issues with syntax-check, for example: trailing_blank /bin/sh: grep: Argument list too long When I'm running it with SHELL='sh -x' I can see that it's indeed trying to run grep with really long list of files, e.g.: + grep -nE '\<error *\([^"]*"[^"]*[a-z]{3}' .ctags .dir-locals.el ... and many many other files in the list. I see this problem on FreeBSD, but not on Linux, I guess that's because ARG_MAX is much lower on FreeBSD: freebsd$ getconf ARG_MAX 262144 linux$ getconf ARG_MAX 2097152 It looks like it's not possible to change ARG_MAX value on FreeBSD. Do I get it right that it's something that I need to report to gnulib? Roman Bogorodskiy
