Is this one long line, or more than a single line?

I suspect that either (1) the problem is that the above command line
overflows the 126-character limit of DOS command lines (DJGPP programs
currently only know how to pass longer commands between themselves,
but they cannot do that with non-DJGPP programs); or (2) dspasm is
some kind of DOS-extended program which is incompatible with the way
DJGPP programs switch into protected mode.

In both cases, trying another port of Make is your best bet.
Sometimes, the DSP development kits supply a real-mode executable of
their tools, so if you have them, you might try it and see if that
helps.
