It is indeed a limitation with XP, the cmd your makefile is trying to invoke is exceeding the character length limits of Windows' cmd processor. You'll need to find a way to divide the command up into smaller pieces. It is a little difficult to provide a specific solution without seeing what your make rule is doing.
