That's damned strange. That should only happen if you invoke a non-DJGPP
app with a long command line in your makefile. Or use a non-DJGPP make. If
you're using the GNU make in maknnnb.zip and using DJGPP's gcc, gxx, ld,
ar, and so forth only, then everything should be peachy keen as long as you
keep the binaries current (2.00 DJGPP executables or 1.x ones are NFG).
