Version:5.0.91 OS:IBM AIX
Assigned to: Joerg Bruehe CPU Architecture:Any

Description:
In (at least) the build of 5.0.91, a binary package on AIX does not contain the "*.test" files of the main suite, those stored in "mysql-test/t".

The reason is a failure in "make_binmary_distribution":
scripts/make_binary_distribution[339]: /usr/bin/cp: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long.

Looking at the script, here are the relevant lines:
 339 $CP mysql-test/t/*.test mysql-test/t/*.imtest \
 340     mysql-test/t/*.disabled mysql-test/t/*.opt \
 341     mysql-test/t/*.slave-mi mysql-test/t/*.sh mysql-test/t/*.sql $BASE/mysql-test/t

How to repeat:
Just try it.

Suggested fix:
Don't construct such a long line with continuation,
rather split it into three copy commands.

Fixing it immediately.

      Bug#54590  "make_binary_distribution" fails because a command
                 line exceeds the limit
      
      The number and/or names of our files for the main test suite
      (contents of "mysql-test/t/") now exceeds the command line
      length limit on AIX.
      Solve the problem by using separate "cp" commands for the
      various file name extensions.

Fix looks sensinble and safe, let's assume the commands won't grow to become too long again.

        to <command>make</command> could fail on some platforms                                       
        because the lines generated were too long for the shell.
