==> This will work fine on DOS.  However, I also want the EXACT same makefile to

==> impossible when the makefile calls other Unix specific utilities (awk, sed,
==> etc...).  However, I would be happy with just the basic functionality.

This functionality exists under the MKS Toolkit. The MKS Kornshell and
utilities (including make) understand command lines up to 8K long!
Unfortunately, gcc doesn't. Hopefully the code to understand the
MKS-style argument passing will appear in the next release (hint,
hint).
