I have good success with

```
libsomething_la_SOURCES = cpart.cpp
libsomething_la_LDADD = xx.o

.cu.o:
        # fake compiler command for my case
        g++ -x c++ -c -o $@ $<
```

The only downside is a naggy warning about non-portable use of .o files.
I could live with that..

Getting an .lo file out of it is more complicated (I got an xx.lo but
no .libs/xx.o, which is rather odd.)
