Off the top of my head (i.e. not tested):

foo/
  Makefile.am:
  ...
  SUBDIRS = . libfoo src
  ...
  libfoo/
    Makefile.am:
    ...
    noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
    libfoo_la_SOURCES  = foo.c
    ...
  src/
    Makefile.am:
    ...
    lib_LTLIBRARIES   = libbar.la
    libbar_la_SOURCES = bar.c
    libbar_LIBADD     = $(top_builddir)/libfoo/libfoo.la

    bin_PROGRAMS = baz
    baz_SOURCES  = baz.c
    baz_LDADD    = ./libbar.la
    ...

HTH,
        Gary.
