That is correct.  GNU Make 3.7.3 does not support long filenames under
Windows 95, which causes all sorts of problems when using it in that
environment.  There are ways to finesse it, but they tend to cause other
problems.

Solution:  get Make version 3.7.5 (v2gnu/mak375b.zip).  This version is
compiled for v2.01, but can be used with v2.00 if necessary.  (*)  It
fully supports long filenames under Win95.

(*) There are a few caveats with mixing v2.00 programs and v2.01
programs, related primarily to long command lines.  If you don't already
have it, I recommend upgrading to v2.01 as soon as possible. 
Alternatively, you could get the source for Make (v2gnu/mak375s.zip) and
rebuild it using v2.00.

Hope this helps!
