When running "make distclean" in a cross chroot environment, the
following messages are emitted:
[user@host:/home/work/linux]: make distclean
/usr/bin/xargs: rm: Argument list too long
make: *** [clean] Error 126
I use the following patch to get around the problem:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

Is there another way to solve this problem that does not require
a patch to the Makefile?
