I'm trying to create dependencies using gcc -E -M for K's of c/c++
files.
It is spread over 80 directories so the -I gets very long. Too long
for hpux. I get a virtual memory overflow.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Short symbolic links to the include directories?

ln -s /some/very/long/pathname1 inc1
ln -s /some/very/long/pathname2 inc2
...
gcc -Iinc1 -Iinc2 ...

Perhaps you need to post-process and replace inc1 by
/some/very/long/pathname1 again. Urks.
