Ok. I have re-checked the problem and found out that:
1. All other projects include the built sources in the distribution.
2. The real problem is that GDA-skels.c and GDA-common.c is included in
   the lib/gda-server directory, but GDA.h is not. Probably the problem
   is that GDA.h is then generated and GDA-skels.c is not, and therefore
   they are not compatible with each other when a user has another version
   of orbit-idl that Rodrigo.

I would propose to still include the generated sources into the
distribution,
but make sure that _all_ of them are included.
