It seems to exist a bug in make:

"make --version" says
"GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i386-pc-msdosdjgpp

----- makefile starts. -----
all:
	cl "One but very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong argument string."
	cl.exe "One but very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong argument string."

----- makefile ends. -----

"make -i" yeilds:
"cl "One but very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong argument string."
t:/tmp/dj100000: cl: command not found
make.exe: [all] Error 127 (ignored)
cl.exe "One but very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong argument string."
t:/tmp/dj200000: cl.exe: command not found
make.exe: [all] Error 127 (ignored)"

----- cl source starts. -----
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int i = 0;

  printf("'%s' called with argc = %d.\n", argv[0], argc);

  while( argv[i] != NULL )
  {
    printf("argv[%d] = '%s'.\n", i, argv[i]);
    i++;
  }

  return( 0 );
}

/* I compiled with "gcc -O2 -g -Wall cl.c -o cl". */
----- cl source ends. -----

Note that the makefile is for running the program, not compiling it!

I've tested on DOZE 6.22 and WINDOZE 98.

"set" yields:
"PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
