As far as I know, this message is not produced by GNU Make.  Are you
sure there isn't a 'make.exe' from another compiler somewhere on your
PATH?

If I'm wrong about the message, then you should check to make sure that
you have a complete DJGPP 2.01 installation; you should not mix any
programs from v2.01 with programs from v2.00.  The latest versions of
all packages on SimTel have been compiled with v2.01.

If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas.  Try to experiment with
different arguments in that command, to see what the longest possible
command is.  Then post your results; I'm sure Eli and the other Make
maintainers would be interested.
