There's lots of info on that in the GPL FAQ, but this seems to be most
relavent:

GPL says the scripts, etc... used to generate the binaries is considered
part of the "source" requirements, which kinda-sorta handles that case:
"...The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. "
