I probably wasn't clear, I don't think there is a bug.  From my
Makefile.am:

libidn_la_SOURCES = gunicomp.h gunidecomp.h internal.h \
        stringprep.c nfkc.c version.c toutf8.c \
        stringprep_generic.c profiles.c \
        punycode.h punycode.c \
        idna.h idna.c

After typing this I don't have to include neither
$(libidna_la_SOURCES) or the *.c files in EXTRA_DIST.  I was looking
for something equivalent for elisp files, which you helped me with.

Perfect!  It works.

Thanks again.
