Note that this problem seems limited to libc, Free Pascal for DOS works 
fine:

============
c:\PP\pas>type pascat.pas
var t:text;
    s:string;

begin
  assign(t, paramstr(1));
  reset(t);
  while not eof(t) do
  begin
    readln(t, s);
    writeln(s);
  end;
  close(t);
end.

c:\PP\pas>fpc pascat.pas
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.0 [2015/11/17] for i386

c:\PP\pas>pascat g:\longfilename.txt
it works
