Actually this is not needed (and there was not a real reason for -
input_file_list to exist in gdalbuildvrt too). All GDAL/OGR utilities have a 
"--optfile filename" (note the double dash before optfile) option that uses the 
lines of filename as arguments of the utility. 

See :

$ gdalinfo --help-general
Generic GDAL utility command options:
  --version: report version of GDAL in use.
  --license: report GDAL license info.
  --formats: report all configured format drivers.
  --format [format]: details of one format.
  --optfile filename: expand an option file into the argument list.
  --config key value: set system configuration option.
  --debug [on/off/value]: set debug level.
  --pause: wait for user input, time to attach debugger
  --locale [locale]: install locale for debugging (ie. en_US.UTF-8)
  --help-general: report detailed help on general options.


So you should be able to run :

gdalwarp --optfile text_file_with_src_files.txt target.tif
