How long is your normally expanded compile command line (not using @__cpp_path.txt) ?  -- About 16K bytes(armclang cmd line) or 137K bytes(armlink cmd line).
If you're building with a flavor of mingw (in msys shell?), what's that shells maximum? -- The actual compiler armclang, executed on windows, windows cmd supports about 2047 bytes.
You could potentially change the shell being used by SCons and avoid the need for response files altogether. -- Wonder if an unrestricted shell exists and can be used on windows? cmd.exe is a widely used shell on windows.


In addition, the "TEMPFILE" method cannot be linked here, because the linker armlink checks whether there is the --cpu option on the command line, and if not, an error is reported. "TEMPFILE" puts all options in a temporary file, so linking fails.

SCons will detect this automatically and you should not set it under normal circumstances. Also I set the tempfile to be verbose, but it is not needed. SCons will only use temporary files if it is needed, so there's not really another option, if the temporary file is not used, the compilation will fail. Please make sure you are not setting the maxlinelength.

When ninja is not enabled, the compilation time (j32) is increased from 3:45 to 6:30. The duration has increased by almost 3 minutes, which should be related to the massive creation of temporary files. If put "-o $TARGET" and "$SOURCE" directly on the command line without writing temporary files, the number of temporary files generated in large numbers can be as few as 2~3.
