Per-Makefile:
  AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --preserve-dup-deps

or per-target with *_LIBTOOLFLAGS.

(And yes, it is very inconsistent that this flag must be passed before
the --mode, and not after the compiler, where *LDFLAGS go.  TODO item.)

Well, was that fast enough?  ;-)

(You may still have troubles getting what you want; but to help more, we
need to see more, like the corresponding Makefile.am parts.)

Cheers,
