Well, relying on all-local is the wrong thing anyway as a parallel make
will create the all-local at the same time as PROGRAMS. the right thing
is
to add an explicit dependency for each source that relies on the header
like "mysourcefile.c: myheaderfile.h". Another way is via BUILTSOURCES,
but this is not recommended.
