When the list of packages to be installed in a built image exceeds a certain
number, then 'opkg install' executed for target '$(curdir)/install' in
package/Makefile fails with: /usr/bin/env: Argument list too long.
On Linux, the length of a command-line parameter is limited by
MAX_ARG_STRLEN to max 128 kB.

To solve the problem, store the package list being passed to 'opkg install'
in a temporary file and use the shell command substitution to pass the
content of the file to 'opkg install'. This guarantees that the length of
the command-line parameters passed to the bash shell is short.
The following bash script demonstrates the problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
count=${1:-1000}
FILES=""
a_file="/home/egorenar/Repositories/openwrt-rel/bin/targets/alpine/generic/packages/base-files_1414-r16464+19-e887049fbb_arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4.ipk"
for i in $(seq 1 $count); do
FILES="$FILES $a_file"
done
env bash -c "echo $FILES >/dev/null"
echo "$FILES" | wc -c
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test run:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./test.sh 916
130989
$ ./test.sh 917
./test.sh: line 14: /bin/env: Argument list too long
