This is bad.  We had a test in the automake testsuite that tried to build a
project with mixed C/Vala sources, but it didn't use a C header as well :-(

I've thus added a new test case that exposes the bug (see the first attached
patch).

Unfortunately, your patch doesn't seem to fix the issue.  I've attached a
second patch that seems to do the trick.  It will appear in the next automake
version (1.12) unless there are objections.

Thanks,
