Why are you using the 16-bit (DOS) DJGPP tools under Windows NT instead of
the Cygwin 32-bit stuff?  You won't run into any of these command line
length headaches when using the 32-bit shell and tools.

The DJGPP tools are 32-bit.  It's a limitation of the DOS shell (COMMAND.COM &
CMD.EXE) that is the problem.

Cygwin doesn't have a command line limit problem, but it has its own unique
headaches.  Read the number of posts of people trying to get the Cygwin system
working for legOS development to get an idea of what a pain it can be for
non-Unix people.
