You don't need to build this separately.  It is built as part of ORBit.

The soln. is:

	$ cd /usr/local/gnome/src/ORBit/src/idl-compiler
	$ rm -f orbit-c-backend.o .deps/orbit-c-backend.P
	
and re-run make.  You can apply the same solution to other files that
complain.  It may be simpler to

	$ cd /usr/local/gnome/src/ORBit
	$ find . -name .deps -print | xargs rm -fr
	$ make clean
	$ make

I expect that the next alpha release of automake will solve this problem
with deleted header files.
