is 46.<\/p>\n
In a previous post<\/a> I described how to patch QEMU to allow building binutils in a cross chroot. In there I increased the maximal number of argument pages to 64 because I was just after a quick fix. Today I finally bisected that, and the result is you need at least 46 for MAX_ARG_PAGES in order for binutils to build.<\/p>\n In bug 533882<\/a> it is discussed that LibreOffice requires an even larger number of pages. It is possible other packages also require such a large limit. Note that it may not be a good idea to increase the MAX_ARG_PAGES limit to an absurdly high number and leave it at that. A large amount of memory will be allocated in the target’s memory space and that may be a problem.<\/p>\n Hopefully QEMU switches to a dynamic limit someday like the kernel. In the meantime, my upcoming is 46. In a previous post I described how to patch QEMU to allow building binutils in a cross chroot.
