No, because the generation program will create it when you run "make". 
I regularly do "rm */*_gen*" before I create my (cvs) diffs, since the 
_gen files can have huge diffs.

If you don't run make it won't be generated, of course.  There is some 
possibility for error here (a month or so ago someone forgot to commit 
the _gen files for several days), but even then most people will 
probably not notice since again it gets fixed when you run "make".
