I think this would avoid the problems you mention above.
Yes. This is a useful TODO item. I think you should be able to work around it by using AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR and putting all LIBOJBS in a separate directory, with separate Makefile.am, ensuring that they are built early enough, and setting AM_CPPFLAGS and AM_CFLAGS there. I suppose you know all this already, but don't want to spoil your nonrecursive build. ;-) Cheers, Ralf
