I bumped into an issue where MinGW's make would complain about failed dependencies: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35381034/make-says-no-rule-to-make-target-when-i-try-to-compile-a-qt-application-for-a

After some investigation I realised it's because of the infamous Windows path length problem. I understand it's not make's duty to fix or work around it but please, could 'make' at least complain that given path is simply too long for given platform and abort without any further misleading errors?
