I can't do that. The project is a shared library and a set of utilities 
which uses it. Although it is ok to do this to the utilities, I'll have 
portability problems if I link a static library to my shared library.

In the meantime, I found the PR 401, which states this problem:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake-prs/2003-q3/msg00029.html

I think the idea of having each filename of LIBOBJS prefixed with 
${LIBOBJ_DIR}, and let LIBOBJ_DIR be defined differently in each 
Makefile is the better solution.

Is there some planning to fix this bug? I hate asking this, but it is 
the only thing I'm missing for the next release of my library.

Thanks for any help.

What if there were no hypothetical situations?
