A "make -n rtl.chk > test.txt" succeeded, at least. Now I suspect some
Windows or RTL commandline limitations, which seem to truncate the long
command lines created by the scripts (4890 chars for rtl.chk).
Does this limitation apply when using TProcess under Windows as well?
Truncating a command line.
Yes.

Linux has a limit of 5000 arguments (or thereabouts).
If not, why not remove the Makefile idea completely, and simply create
a console application that calls the appropriate applications with the
correct parameters. I have removed all make files and scripts from
some of our projects (and for the generation of fpGUI or LCL docs into
INF or HTML), and replaced them with simple command line programs that
can be compiled from: fpc somecoolutitility.pas
You then have TProcess, the whole RTL and FCL at your disposal. MUCH
more powerful than scripts or makefiles.
Exactly the ideas behind the switch to fpmake and fppkg.
