A priori this sounds like the wrong way to do things.  You can specify
as many -I flags to the compiler as you want to bring in your headers.
Copying them around the build tree sounds like a bad idea because
they're sure to end up out of sync somehow.

If you absolutely have to copy for some obscure reason you need to
setup your targets correctly; your program should depend on your
header and your header target should do whatever copying is required.
