When executing 'make unixall' on HP NonStop, there are too many files in vim for tar to handle on the command line

/home/git/vim: make unixall
if test -f runtime/doc/ugandansistxt; then \
rm runtime/doc/ugandansistxt; fi
rm -f dist/vim-74tarbz2
rm -rf dist/vim74
mkdir dist/vim74
tar cf - \

/bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/tar: arg list too long

This is a platform issue, but please consider dropping the file set into a file in /tmp and using --files-from potentially as separate rule

I do have a contribution that could potentially help with this. If needed, I can fork and issue a pull request for the latest NonStop port code.
