Huh?  But automake won't go this way usually.  With

  bin_PROGRAMS = foo
  foo_SOURCES = foo.c
  foo_LDADD = libc.la

foo will be linked with foo.o (*not* created by libtool), and neither
foo.lo nor .libs/foo.o will ever be created.

Or, I am misunderstanding your statement, and going back to lurking
mode.
