In the Programmer's Guide I (under 'Make' :-)) there is described a facility
for getting Make to tell you *exactly* what's going on by using the '-d'switch. Using this switch will have Make spew all kinds of arcane stuff back
at you and leave you at the line Make is trying to execute when it bombed.
I ran into a problem similar to the one you describe and it turned out to
be a environment variable that was being set to too long a string. Breaking
it up into two parts and inserting the pair instead of the one solved the
problem.
