Does this long command work if you put it on a separate Makefile which
doesn't have anything but this line?

Are you sure your make.exe is indeed the DJGPP port of Make 3.79.1?
Are you sure your gcc.exe is indeed a DJGPP port of GCC?

I don't see anything special on the first glance, neither in your
Makefile nor in the environment.  So if the above doesn't help, I'd
suggest to build a Make executable with debug info, after inserting
the contents of system.c and dosexec.c from djlsr203.zip into one of
the Make source files, and then run Make under a debugger and see
what's going on inside `system' and `dosexec'.
