m4/gnulib-comp.m4 has gl_FILE_LIST. Although this lists all files not 
just C files, it should be easy enough to extract the C files.

I'm not quite following, since I'm not sure whether we're talking about 
an in-tree build or an out-of-tree build. That being said, can we 
address the problem by changing the order of the includes in 
cross/src/lib/Makefile?
