Error:
make: execvp: make: Invalid argument
make: *** [compile_all] Error 127

Occurs:
On most W2k boxes in our dev environment.
However it's OK on some other w2k machines (a minority - why ???).
Our Makefile makes ok on all linux and solaris :-)

Reason:
appears to be related to the increasing size of a Makefile
["Makefile" 1212L, 53280C]

Fix:
??????????

Environment:
 
Win2000 5.00.2195
