        Yes - that's fine; it's not the real solution though, make -j 8
will still be totaly broken here; we need to express the dependency
properly.

        Hmm, that sucks too.

        I tried telling make that all these C files depended on these
built C files with a rule somewhat like:

$(libbonobo_src) : $(marshal_sources) $(CORBA_SOURCE)

        And this seemed to work just fine - problem is it broke make
distcheck in a _totaly_ wierd way, that I have no understanding of
whatsoever - and a prolongued session with make -d didn't help me either.

        If there are any make / automake gurus listening, your help would
be much appreciated.

        Regards,

                Michael.
