It shouldn't ever be trying to build allegro.o, in the first place.

This is a typical error caused by a misconception about how makefiles
or RHIDE projects are supposed to be composed. In particular, you
should *never* have to include a .h file into the list of sources of
an RHIDE project. Neither should it occur among the list of dependencies
for an executable file or library, in a Makefile.
