Description
Hello,
Some cores fail to compile with g++ "Argument list too long" errors when I try to compile with libretro-build-android.sh (on Windows, using Cygwin). One example is nestopia. I have no idea why that would be, especially since most other cores (snes9x-next, mednafen, pcsx_rearmed, ...) build fine.
My sources are in a directory several levels deep:
/home/guayj/work/libretro-super/libretro-nestopia/source/core
but I wouldn't think this is uncommon, or even overly long, considering more than half comes from the project's paths themselves...
Any clues as to why I'm getting this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start with libretro-build-android.sh and reproduce the nestopia build under Cygwin using the reported deep source path. Compare its command invocation with the cores that build successfully, focusing on where the argument-list failure occurs. Done means the affected cores build successfully on the reported setup without the error.
