I'm not so sure about that. MM_VMS had code like this in 6.17.
# See MM_VMS->subdir_x
subdirs ::
olddef = F$Environment("Default")
Set Default [.subdir]
- $(MMS)$(MMSQUALIFIERS) all $(USEMACROS)$(PASTHRU)$(MACROEND)
Set Default 'olddef'
Which will produce results similar to yours above. So I think having
multiple macro qualifiers is ok. The length is a problem. I think its
the addition of DESTDIR that nudges the command over the edge. Thinking of
it more I don't think its necessary since install is not recursive.
I removed it from the latest snap.

I just changed the dependencies back to .exists files everywhere.
