This will change nothing.

This is irrelevant: RHIDE invokes the compiler directly, not through any 
shell, and it uses the special way of passing command lines between DJGPP 
programs, which is not limited by 126 (not 128) characters, and is not 
affected by the COMMAND.COM's /U and /E switches.

bug.
