Can't say why, but this obviously is not the correct content of lib/dup-safer.c

Must admit I've added 'export CONFIG_SHELL=/some/bash' to my ~/.profile
long time ago - and actually forgot about it, so this didn't bite me again...

It may help even for your initial gcc troubles to set CONFIG_SHELL prior
to any other operation, either building prefix-launcher or anything else.

Oh well, there's another thing to check first:
  $ /usr/sbin/lsattr -EH -l sys0 | grep ncargs
  ncargs       40    ARG/ENV list size in 4K byte blocks     True

The default value of 6 (or even 4) usually is too small - we've set it
to 40 here, but this can be done by root only:
  $ /usr/sbin/chdev -l sys0 -a ncargs=40

Although Sun for example does recommend a value of 16:

Another question: Which version of gcc do you have already installed
and build prefix-launcher with?
