system.

This probably won't work if valac isn't already installed, e.g. on the
build server. It should work when doing something like

make VALAC=$PWD/compiler/valac

That would work.  The patch I'm currently applying patches the .c file as well, but in any case, presumably 0.1.6 could use the newly-built valac for vapigen and vala-gen-project by default? i.e. their Makefiles should use that VALAC setting.

Thanks,
