GMP does that sort of thing with a convenience library in the
subdirectory to get .lo files built, then

        libmylib_la_LIBADD = subdir/foo.lo

or subdir/foo$U.lo if using ansi2knr.

The .lo is because if libtool is given the convenience library
directly then it uses PIC objects in the static library (or at least
that was so last time I checked).

Might be easier.  GNU "strip" doesn't enjoy same-named objects in a .a
library for instance.
