Use either DJGPP port of Make (which knows how to pass long command lines
to GCC), or the response file feature:

	gcc @file

where `file' holds the actual command line.

The DJGPP port of Make is available as v2gnu/mak373b.zip from the same 
place you get DJGPP.  The response file facility (and other methods to 
pass long command lines to DJGPP programs) are explained in section 16.4 
of the DJGPP FAQ list (available as v2/faq201b.zip).
