The problem is that a Linux emulated program (linux-sun-jdk) would die
with something like bad address printed to the stderr/stdout.  It isn't
the command line size alone (I don't think).  Once I got past that
initial failure, I am able to rebuilt jdk15 natively without any issues.

So I'd say there is a problem with the linux32 emulation.
