This sounds like truncation of long command lines.  Are you sure you
are running the DJGPP version of Make?  Is it possible that some other
make.exe is lurking on your PATH and is picked up before the one in
the DJGPP's `bin' directory?

It's hard to tell: your description is not clear enough, at least for
me.  Please post a short Makefile which uses these constructs, and
what do you get as the result.
