This is a true limitation of command.com, the command 
processor of ms-dos, which allows at most 126 
characters on the command line. 

This problem should not arise, unless you are compiling 
your programs calling directly gcc from the command 
line or doing something equivalent, like using .bat 
files.

DJGPP programs don't have this problem when they call 
(or are called by) other DJGPP programs. i.e. If you use
bash as your shell the 126 character limits disappear. 

Otherwise you can use RHIDE or gnu make to build your 
programs: being DJGPP programs, they can pass longer 
command lines to gcc.

You can have a look at the FAQ list, section 16, for 
more about this topic.
