That shouldn't be necessary; you generally only need to list headers
there for which automake cannot know that they are generated and needed
early.  On GNU/Linux, the example code from the second post from Vincent
should just work.  Vincent, I'm afraid you might just have to debug the
makefile (make -d etc); maybe there is a 'cmapdump' file that make finds
to be matching?
