I tried #3 and it worked. Did not try the dist target, but BUILT_SOURCES is a 
dependency of distdir by default. In order to build the binaries directly as it 
was done in the windows build, the dependency is too late in the list of 
dependencies, i.e. after the object files such that the compiler already tries 
to compile the c files before the headers are build. So I was wondering why the 
line is there. It works if do just „make“ but it does not work if you do „make 
src/ui/terminal/pspp“ - neither with #2 nor #3. 

I just thought that there is an easy explanation for this line that I just dont 
see.
