From d56fcf299fb4c4a39634d822bbb9538acd7548f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Marek Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 11:31:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] DocBook: Do not exceed argument list limit Use find + xargs to compress the generated manpages. Without this patch, the build can fail with gzip -f Documentation/DocBook/man/*.9 /bin/bash: /usr/bin/gzip: Argument list too long This happened with qemu user mode emulation on aarch64.
