This seems a bit convolued to me. I suggest you
1. don't AC_SUBST(PLUGINDIR) from configure.ac
2. don't override libdir in Makefile.am
3. use something like this in Makefile.am:
plugindir = $(libdir)/programname
plugin_LTLIBRARIES = stdout.la ...
Actually, it can be simplier to use pkglibdir
(automatically defined to `$(libdir)/$(PACKAGE)'):
pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = stdout.la ...

Patrik> It does this:

I'm confused, are you showing the line from *each* Makefile.in
or from only one? In the latter case, that's clearly an Automake bug.
