Microsoft has released fix for this long path issue. Please find the post here in Developer community.

In my case, it was a problem with a "node_modules" folder, which includes a hell lot of files with a long paths.

Adding "exclude" setting to the root of project.json file solved the problem:

"exclude": [
    "node_modules"
]

So you can actually exclude any files causing this issue.
