Yes, after a Makefile.am is modified, you must run the top-level
./bootstrap to generate the new Makefile.in file(s). Note that your
autoconf/automake/libtool versions must match the versions specified
in the top-level README file. Currently, those versions are:
    - autoconf version 2.53
    - automake version 1.5
    - libtool version 1.3.4

After that you must run ./configure to generate the new Makefile
file(s).
Finally, you must run gmake, and the ids_xif.hh and ids_xif.cc files
will generated. 

FYI, for testing purpose you could generate those auto-generated
files by hand:

cd xrl/interfaces
python ../scripts/clnt-gen ids.xif
