Yes, of course.

In this case, shouldn't the INCLUDE line in kjs/Makefile.am

INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir) $(PCRECFLAGS) $(all_includes)

read 

INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_builddir) $(PCRECFLAGS) $(all_includes)

instead? Otherwise, the generated global.h file will not be found.
I've not tested with kdelibs sources, actually, I noticed this while 
experimenting with kdenox.
