The makefiles scripts create a variable with all the go files that are part of the Kubernetes source tree, including staging. As today, this variable has a size of < 100kb wc .make/all_go_dirs.mk 2326 2326 98905 .make/all_go_dirs.mk This variable is passed as argument in the Makefiles, where it is expanded. In Linux, there is a limit to the max size of the arguments MAX_ARG_STRLEN. If the arguments go above 128k, you get a nice: execvp: /usr/bin/env: Argument list too long If you, for whatever reason, do some go mod vendor inside the hack/tools folder, these files will be added to the variable and most probably you'll go above the limit and get that error. Then, you'll learn a lot about Makefils, shell expansion, strace, execpve, ARG_MAX and MAX_ARG_STRLEN,until you realize what is the real problem :).
