Change the Makefile to use ./include instead of $(TOPDIR)/include for
the FINDPATH. This shortens the arg list and make dep will work.

> Solution
> When large_ncargs_enabled is set to "1", it increases the default
> "environment size" (the memory set aside to be your login
> environment - to hold your PATH variable, etc.) from 20478 to
> 2048000. SAM doesn't have any info about this parm or any max/minvalue.

> If you have been having trouble using an "rm *" on really big
> directories (it was running out of environment space), the command
> will work when you set it to 1. Regarding system performance, it
> will eat up extra memory (2 M vs. 20 K), but if you don't have too
> many users and you have plenty of RAM, it shouldn't be a problem.
