+Subject: [PATCH] gyp: fix node build failure with long build directory path on
+ Linux
+
+Some build targets (especially the embedded OpenSSL) would use very long
+ar command lines (in the case of OpenSSL, containing more than 600 object
+files). This would often exceed the argument list limit for common stack
+size settings when building in directories with long paths.
+
+Fix this by writing the object list to a file first and referring to it in
+the ar command.
+
+Based-on-patch-by: Amy Fong <amy.fong@windriver.com>
+Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/9137
