First, I'm using bash as my shell under DOS and Win95.  I'm having a
problem with the command line being sent to some executables being
truncated at 130 characters, primarily when using a compiler other
than gcc/djgpp.

The portion in question is simple:

$(RDIR)/%.r : $(SDIR)/%.cpp
	$(CC) $(SPECIAL_FLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS)


The full command line IS printed to the console, however, only the
first 130 characters are actually passed to $(CC).  This happens with
other executables as well, but does not seem to happen with gcc.

Are there any special shell flags or command line options I can send
to bash in order to get around this problem?
