--- Comment #2 from Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg at FreeBSD.org> ---
For reference, here are some values in other systems:

/netbsd/sys/sys/syslimits.h
#define ARG_MAX (256 * 1024) /* max bytes for an exec function */ 

/illumos-gate/usr/src/head/limits.h
#define _ARG_MAX32      1048320 /* max length of args to exec 32-bit program */
#define _ARG_MAX64      2096640 /* max length of args to exec 64-bit program */
#ifdef  _LP64
#define ARG_MAX         _ARG_MAX64      /* max length of arguments to exec */
#else   /* _LP64 */
#define ARG_MAX         _ARG_MAX32      /* max length of arguments to exec */
#endif  /* _LP64 */

I have no opinion, but since our own LibreOffice builds haven't seem to have
reached that issue(?), perhaps it's better to avoid a huge bump in that value.
Perhaps the _ARG_MAX32 is sufficient for UbuntuBSD? (Cool project BTW).
