Long links do not work on NT without Tony's patch for
$build::command::action().

Something equivalent to:


          #---------------------
          # Can't fork on Win32
          #---------------------
          if ($main::_WIN32) {
# Tony's fix for The following character string is too long:
              if ($com !~ /^$env->{LINK} /) {
                  system($com);
              } else {
                  my @link_line = split(/\s+/, $com);
                  shift @link_line;
                  my $linkopts = 'C:\Temp\linkopts.lnk';

                  open(LINKOPTS, ">$linkopts") || die("$0: can't open $linkopts

                  print LINKOPTS join(' ', @link_line), "\n";

#               File::Slurp::overwrite_file( $linkopts,"@link_line");
                  my $link_command = "link.exe address@hidden";
                main::showcom($link_command);
                  system($link_command );
              }
#           system($com);
           if ($?) {
