Yes.  We haven't figured out whether and when automake should do this
automatically.  If we do, then a future release of Automake may change
this.  Until then you can use add `-bindir $(bindir)' to either
AM_LDFLAGS (if this is to be set for all libraries in this makefile) or
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS for library libfoo.la only.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
