Blink has a "With" option that allows you to supply command params from
a withfile.  So you could say

blink with withfile

where withfile contained all the stuff.  This overcomes a 255-odd character
limit in command lines.   lmk offers some support in that it can generate
withfiles for you, so you can say

blink <with <
FROM $(OFILES)
TO p2c
LIBRARY lib:a.lib+lib:lc.lib
NODEBUG
<

and it would build a file with the stuff in it including macro expansions.
