Does automake complain if you do something like:

@PLUGIN_TARGET@: foo.lo
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link --tag=CC $(CCLD) -o @PLUGIN_TARGET@ \
        foo.lo -avoid-version -module

install-exec-hook: @PLUGIN_TARGET@
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL) @PLUTIN_TARGET@ \
        $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)
