Description:
After fixing "make dist" ( Bug #49274 ) a "make distcheck" fails with:

[...]
configure: error: cannot find sources (backend/wbpublic/grt/common.h) in ..
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

How to repeat:
Run "make distcheck" (may need fix for bug #49274 to be applied first)

Suggested fix:
Make sure all files required for building are properly listed as source files in some Makefile.am, e.g. as "noinst_HEADERS

I made some progress fixing this, but the circular dependency on the genobj tool (see also bug #49473 ) is sort of a show stopper right now ...

I have confirmed with Debian/Ubuntu packagers that make dist/distcheck is not used by distributors.
