Quick question,
	when using gcc and a makefile, the list of object files that
make up the executable is often longer than the 126 characters that
the dos command line allows. Most compilers i've used have a way
around this, for e.g. Watcom uses a '*' in front of the link command
and passes the command line in an environment variable, and the name
of the env var to the linker in an @<env_var param>.

Anybody know how to do a similar thing with gcc????
