I need to duplicate the method borland make uses to stuff multiple lines
of make info to a command.  Example:


$(BIN)\ibmbio.com:      $(DRVR_IND_OBJ) $(CONFIG_IND_OBJ) $(DRVR_DEP_OBJ)

        $(LINK) /MAP @&&!
$(DRVR_IND_OBJ1)+
$(DRVR_IND_OBJ2)+
$(DRVR_DEP_OBJ)+
$(CONFIG_IND_OBJ1)+
$(CONFIG_IND_OBJ2)+
$(DRVR_IND_OBJ5)+
$(CONFIG_DEP_OBJ)
$*

(the top line of the example was cut off due to the copy/paste method I
used)

The result of this construct is this:

Can some makefile genius tell me how to go about this using the make
program that ships with djgpp? (GNU make I belive)

Trust me, it's for a good cause.  (hint: examine just *what* is being
linked) *grin*

TIA.
