Add to Makefile.am the line:

$(libgetorb_a_OBJECTS) $(getorb_OBJECTS): sysdep.h sysdep.inc

One thing you're doing that probably conflicts with the way automake
deals with BUILT_SOURCES is that:

> sysdep.h: sysdep Makefile
>         ./sysdep

> sysdep.inc: sysdep Makefile
>         ./sysdep

the generated files depend on Makefile.  IIRC, automake arranges (or
used to arrange) for Makefile to depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES), to make
sure they're up-to-date whenever something else is built (as long as
you use GNU make, that implicitly considers Makefile a target).  So,
you've got a cycle in the dependence graph, and some arc gets dropped.
