You need to change the command that make is to run so that Make
invokes the shell.  Use redirection or quoting to do that.  When Make
runs these programs through the shell, Bash will see they aren't DJGPP
programs and will invoke them via a response file.  (If these other
programs don't support response files, you are stuck.)
