In fact this has nothing to do with the operating system. It's rather a
limitation of the default shell named cmd.exe. With other shells (i.e. MKS
tools sh.exe or the cygwin environment) you can have command lines up to 32k
without any problems. At work we're building binaries from hundreds of
individual objects without using the response file (@file) feature.

The CrerateProcess Win32 API docs says:

lpCommandLine
[in, out] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the command
line to execute. The maximum length of this string is 32K characters.
