This is a makefile, not a shell script--so $(INCL) is a variable
containing the literal string given, much like a C program that says:
  char const* foo = "`find ${LIB_ROOT} -type d \! \( -name '.*' -prune \) | sed 
-e 's/^/-I /'`";
If you want to execute that command once and store its result
in a variable, write:

INCL := $(shell find ${LIB_ROOT} -type d \! \( -name '.*' -prune \) | sed -e 
's/^/-I /')
