This is completely untested suggestion:

I am assuming you are using Libtool as well. Given the Libtool[1] and
Automake manuals, I think it might be possible to do what you want by
modifying libexample_la_CXXFLAGS (or similar appropriate) variable to
add Libtool's -shared flag, which, I think, should/could do what you
want.
