This is a well-documented restriction of the current DJGPP port of GNU 
Make (see section 22.14 of the DJGPP FAQ list).  The port of Make which 
will come with DJGPP v2.1 will work on Windows 95 with LFN=y.  If you 
need it badly right now, I can tell you where to get a preliminary 
release of the new port, but since it's in alpha testing, you will have 
to be prepared for some potential problems.
