Hi!

   I have some problems with compiling some asm sources using makefile.
I posted a few days ago message about it but I had to solve it by myself,
but the real reasons of this problem are still mysterious to me ;-)
   I'm using djgpp v2.1(gcc 2.8.1, bnu 2.7(2.8.1), make 3.76.1) and
when I try to compile asm sources containing comments in that are 
characters with ASCII value greater than 127 (7.bit set) using make
(contents of makefile is correct - ".o.s: $(AS) -o $*.o $*.s") I got
error messages 'nr. of line: Error: Rest of line ignored, first ignored
character valued 0xffffff(xx)' and compiling stops. I was realy confused
what's wrong(after comment char # followed non-numeric value) because
when I directly compiled each .s source from command line manually all
was OK. Than I figured out after some experimenting that when I decrease
number of DOS's environment variables to two, the length of defined 
string in these variables is irrelevant, make works correct.I thought
that problem is in small environment space and I enlarged it up to 16kB.
And result ?? The same problems.
    Please explain me somebody what's the problem. Except my low 
experiences with DJGPP and poor English ;-)

		Thanks
