Unfortunately some platforms can't automatically build the files e.g. WIN32,
VMS.

Also:

Deleting obj_mac.num is a bad idea. It contains the NID values which are added
to over time. If you delete that file the recreated version is almost certain
to have a different NID assignment which breaks binary compatibility.
