I don't think we need to keep this open.
The src/Makefile ugliness is hopefully reduced/gone now.

src/Makefile.in contains some ugliness just in order to reduce the
command line length for make-docfile.

Instead make-docfile could support the @FILE syntax.  That would
remove the command line length limitation.

Snarfed from the GNU ld info page:

`@FILE'
     Read command-line options from FILE.  The options read are
     inserted in place of the original @FILE option.
