this is a bug: the SUBDIRS variables should define an acyclic graph (a tree).
This means that you cannot recurse twice into the same directory.

I believe you can link against library in a nested subdirectory without
and you don't have to add that subdirectory to the SUBDIRS variable.

If you posted an example (the smaller the better), someone might have found
time to edit it to show you the way.

Have a nice day,
