Well, "first" is what's causing your error. So, if you remove it, you
won't see that error any more.
This is the danger of sending an example along with your request for
help, but running a DIFFERENT file to produce the error.
Probably you have something like:
first:
echo $(MY_BIG_VARIABLE)
This runs a command, echo, and passes all the contents of
MY_BIG_VARIABLE on the command line. Note that command line arguments
are not infinite: every system has a maximum amount of space you can
use.
Try using one of the make built-in functions like $(warning ...) or
$(info ...) to do this, rather than invoking a command like echo.
