The maximum size of the environment for a new process (which includes
not only the environment variables but also the command line arguments)
is a limit set by the operating system (the kernel). It has nothing to
do with GNU make and there is no possible way that GNU make can increase
that limit: it's not modifiable from user space (in fact typically it
can't be modified except by recompiling the kernel).
