Just finished installing Potato on my iBook, and now I'm trying to

Did "make config", went through the whole she-bang, that all worked fine.
Did "make dep" and about halfway through got the following error
message (the line that begins "find..." is shortened considerably):
"scripts/mkdep -- `find /root/benh-ker....` > .hdepend
/bin/sh: scripts/mkdep: Argument list too long
make: *** [dep-files] Error 126"
It's pretty clear to me that the last line being executed by
scripts/mkdep is too long, and that's what the machine is tripping
over. What's not clear to me is how I can fix it. Any
thoughts/ideas?

Hrm...this is what I was planning to do, but mkdep isn't a shell
script -- it's a C file that (I guess) gets compiled on the fly to
pull in the config variables. So there isn't a line somewhere that I
can just cut in half...
The other problem is that almost the entire line that's causing the
problem is one find command (it searches for a file in 4 or 5
directories, then does stuff to the result).

Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.
The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from
the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.
Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.
