yes, I know this is broken, we're using "always" $(top_builddir), which
is broken. All I know about this problem is that I must add 2 parameters
for each header directory (-I$(top_builddir)/dir -I$(top_srcdir)/dir),
but how can I deal with this when calling a program, as is the case whn
calling orbit-idl?

yes, those providers (gda-mail-server and others) don't work, and might
not even compile, so please, don't lose your time trying to compile/run
them. The ones that work are ODBC, Postgres, MySQL, Oracle, Interbase
(maybe) and Sybase as soon as I apply Mike's patch.

please report this to libglade maintainers, although I'll try to have a
look at libglade's sources to try to fix it myself.
