That has nothing to do with libtool.  It's the makefile job to keep them
separate.   On that I believe automake can not deal with such file in the
same dir, but I might well be wrong.

... in the same directory.  As said, it's more an issue of
automake, which normally puts .c.lo and .cc.lo rules in. libtool itself
can cope with different suffixes but same basenames just fine,
in the same way, that you already currently have to take.  I.e. if you
curently do
gcc -c a.c -o a_c.o ; gcc -c a.cc -o a_cc.o
you can do so too with libtool --mode=compile (replacing .o with .lo).


Ciao,
Michael.
