There shouldn't really be any need to run javah as part of the build in
any case - you do it once to generate the method stubs, then copy them
into a .c file and forget about the header - it's not like you're going
to be calling these functions from anywhere except java code, so why
bother with a header?

So, to fix this, you could just:
1. Remove all lines like:
#include "org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor_Action.h"
from their associated .c files (presumably the .h files aren't under
version control, but the .c files must be).
2. Remove the makefile stuff that calls javah.
