HELP: Byte Record Too Large For Users Buffer.....

I'm trying to port a Unix program to OpenVMS and because of some
"strange" things I'm forced to use GNU MAKE.

Due to the way the makefile is, all the compiler defines are
placed on the command line making for one heck of a long
command line.

(I started makind a DCL build script, but it was getting
out of hand too quickly and thought if I could use what's
already there it would save time)

But as I was reading in the GNU MAKE v3.80, that shouldn't
be a problem using GNU MAKE v3.80. (the Unix documentation
stated that one HAS to use GNU MAKE)

When I try to run the make script, I get the following error.

%RMS-W-RTB 2613 byte record too large for users buffer

So my question is there any settings I can change
to get rid of this or am I hosed because OpenVMS
can't handle large command lines.

Thanks in advanced.
