You can use a linker response file.  In your make file (assuming you're 
using one...) you would say 
 
    tlink @myproj.lnk
 
The '@' tells tlink to use the following file name as a response file.  
Each line in the response file corresponds to a positional parameter to 
tlink.  Check out your tlink documentation and response files.  It's 
explained quite well and should solve your problem.
