Since no one else has jumped in, here's how to do long command lines in make.
It requires invoking echo to create the response file -- tcc's make may be
able to do the redirection internally.

#
# sample makefile
# make rule for tcc.  may not be necessary
.c.obj:
		tcc -c $(CFLAGS) $*.c

# split your objects into macros < 128 bytes
O1=a.obj b.obj c.obj d.obj e.obj f.obj g.obj h.obj
O2=i.obj j.obj k.obj l.obj m.obj n.obj o.obj p.obj
O3=q.obj r.obj s.obj t.obj u.obj v.obj w.obj x.obj
O4=y.obj z.obj
# slam 'em back together for dependency
OBJ = $O1 $O2 $O3 $O4
#
# main program rule
program.exe : $(OBJ) program.lnk
		tlink @program.lnk
#
# link response file -- depends on makefile, since makefile makes it
program.lnk	: makefile
		echo $(LIB)\c0$(MODEL).obj + 	> $@
		echo $(O1) +					>> $@
		echo $(O2) +					>> $@
		echo $(O3) +					>> $@
		echo $(O4)						>> $@
		echo $*.exe						>> $@
		echo $*.map
		echo $(LIB)\math$(MODEL).lib $(LIB)\emu.lib $(LIB)\c$(MODEL).lib
