     Based on my recent experience, non-recursive builds are working very

     relative location as the source files.  An issue with the 'clean'
     target has been reported for the case where the makefile is also
     recursive (SUBDIRS is used).  Objects get unnecessary funny naming in
     the case where TARGET_CPPFLAGS is used but this doesn't seem to break
     anything.
     
     Since the '/' in target definitions are not "make" syntax compatible,
     all the '/'s in target definitions need to be manually smashed to '_'.
     This is very tedious and error prone, and is something that Automake
     should fix.
     

Is there anything else that's required?

I made a simple Makefile.am :


AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS=subdir-objects

bin_PROGRAMS=atl
atl_SOURCES=src1_foo.c src2_bar.c

But the resulting Makefile produces: 

make: *** No rule to make target `src1_foo.c', needed by `src1_foo.o'.  Stop
