Subject:	gcc call too long (>128)

I use gcc with a makefile containing a gcc line for every file and a final
gcc line for linking. The number of files which should be linked becomes more
and more and by now I have serious problems with the constraint to 128
characters of the MS-DOS command line.

1) is it possible to specify a file, containing the names of 
   the files to be linked ?

2) is there any option to specify a directory, where to look for *.o files ?
   (like -Ixxxx for includes) this would at least reduce the length of the
   command line becouse I keep my *.o files in a subdirectory of my workdir.
   At the moment I workaround with:
      cd bin
      gcc .....
      cd ..

Any suggestions ? 



Tony
