stderr is conventionally used for any diagnostic information. "Help"
generally counts as diagnostics. Your problem is that you're working
on an "operating system" that doesn't really understand the concept
of stderr and whose tools never accounted for its use. Since DJGPP
MAKE is a port by people
I'm taking a C course and I desire to print the help screen data of the DJGPP MAKE
command for reference purposes and have discovered, what is to me a disturbing flaw.
To establish a frame of reference, I'll explain my understanding using C terminology
that I've been learning in the C course.
Yeah I did figure that semicolons had special meaning in GMAKE, but my first
example is actually a springboard for the second one. If I quote everything
with "", then it works except for this strange character limit.
FYI, the \ also has the special meaning of line continuation in GMAKE ;)

Semicolons have a special meaning in GNU-make. RTFM!
Escaping with \; might help. Didn't try, though.
