  My somewhat educated guess:

  You include packets.h from sourcedir -> "current directory" is 
sourcedir when packets.h includes "packets_gen.h". Try using <> in this 
include instead of "" (yeah, I really should make simple tests myself 
before giving any advice, but I don't have proper test environment 
available)
