Again, this is only for Windows 7 x64 / Strawberry 5.16.1.

The initial problem is now fixed, but I have a new one - closer to what you suspected originally about a long line.

Line 3016 in question is somewhere in the middle of the statement starting at line 1206 with:

It seems this error is known for 'dmake' on Strawberry and a "fix" is posted here (although it relies on the user doing something - not something you can include in the Makefile):
