[PATCH] DocBook: Do not exceed argument list limit

From: Michal Marek
Date: Mon Jan 26 2015 - 05:32:12 EST


Use find + xargs to compress the generated manpages. Without this patch,
the build can fail with

gzip -f Documentation/DocBook/man/*.9
/bin/bash: /usr/bin/gzip: Argument list too long

This happened with qemu user mode emulation on aarch64.
