That's the compiler's friendly way of saying "Command line too long".  What
I've done about it in the past (I don't maintain news here anymore) is to use
localize.sh to add
	#ifdef USG
	#define index strchr
	#define rindex strrchr
	#endif
to defs.h and remove the index and rindex defines from CFLAGS.
