In light of Microsoft declaring the old Win9x/ME OSs "end of life". Can we just switch to the new API and drop compatiblity with these old OSs for future releases of Make?
Cheers

make calls to files with a path longer than 128 chars are not supported under windows.

This is because of OpenFile method used in w32/subproc/sub_proc.c.
This method supports only 128 chars.
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/openfile.asp)

MSDN suggest using CreateFile instead. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/createfile.asp)

The generated error message looks like:
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), <insert_unresolved_cmd_here>, ...) failed.
