As make passes all commands to a shell (normally /bin/sh -c) this is a
question not of gmake, but your particular shell implementation.
Limits for command line lengths in the shell can usually be gotten
around by using xargs (and in extreme cases, using a different shell).
If all else fails, reduce the command line length, maybe by repeating a
command with just a few args instead of one big list. You have not
provided an example of what *exactly* you do, and my psychic power today
is sub-zero :-)
