Not true.  Make only calls COMMAND.COM if it sees some batch file or a
built-in COMMAND.COM command, or if it doesn't find the command
anywhere along PATH.  Otherwise, Make uses its own internal emulator
of COMMAND.COM which doesn't suffer from command-line limitations when
DJGPP programs are invoked.

(Actually, Make simply calls `system' from the library, and `system'
is the one which has a COMMAND.COM emulator.)
