subobj8.test: using subdir-objects in a subdirectory

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

The test case below shows that if the `subdir-objects' options
is used from within a subdirectory (to build files from deeper
directories), then Automake does not require `compile'.

I've played with the following instruction from lanc_c_rewrite:

        &require_file ($FOREIGN, 'compile')
            if $relative_dir eq '.';

but if I simply rewrite it to

        &require_file ($FOREIGN, 'compile');

it will install `compile' as `foo/compile' while I expected it
would be installed as `tools/compile'.

Note that another related issue, not tested here, is that
AM_PROG_CC_C_O is not AUX_DIR-aware: it relies on `compile'
beeing installed as `$top_srcdir/compile' :(
