This post would seem to suggest the addition of the macros to test
for -c/-o compatibility in automake. I also notice that f/F/etc.
files are added to lib/compile, but I'm not entirely sure how this
ties in.

As it stands, I am (was) using the subdir-objects in
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, as it is only required for part of the package. In
the autotools'ing and and modularization of this tree, code that has
not yet been split out from the main library remains in
./libraries/libfoo/{c,f,h,cbk}/ which is where I was attempting to
use subdir-objects.
