I know of a way around problem (2).  You need to use a "response" file.

What I did in my make file was to add the following:

OBJ=$(OBJ1) $(OBJ2) $(OBJ3)
LFLAGS=Your link flags here!
TARG=Your application name here.
MODEL=Your memory model here.

$(TARG).exe : $(OBJ)
        echo $(LFLAGS) + > tlink.rsp
        echo $(OBJ1)   + >> tlink.rsp
        echo $(OBJ2)   + >> tlink.rsp
        echo $(OBJ3)   + >> tlink.rsp
        tlink c0w$(MODEL) @tlink.rsp, $(TARG).exe, etc. etc. etc.

Be sure to link c0w$(MODEL) before linking your other .obj files.  I
don't remember why but I do remember Borland recommending this.  I hope
this helps.  Marc
