  It understands an indirect file as follows:

  cl <list_of_parameters> @<name_of_file_containing_the_rest_part_of_the_parameter_list>


  So you need something like this (well it is only to show an idea, with make 
one can create it another way too):

   echo "your 1st parameters"   > cl.lst
   echo "your 2nd parameters"  >> cl.lst
   echo "your n-th parameters" >> cl.lst
   echo "your last parameters" >> cl.lst
   cl @cl.lst

      Hope this  helps.
