I've used the kannel source you provided on your website, i didn't find
the patch mentioned on the ml last September.
Yes, the Configure is just modified by adding the
AC_OUTPUT(.....,gw/smsc/Makefile.am,..).
I don't know why its that different to the one from the branch...

make and Automake is not able to cope with subdirs, unless you do nasty
things. So you do a static lib, which is linked at compiletime.
Thats a widely used way to solve this problem.
Allso it's anoying not being able to just do make in Emacs and get your
compile errors from the source you just edited.
Allso you shouldn't use relative paths in the Makefiles, you use ${topsrcdir}
to make autoconf expand that. This enables foreign or aliend build,
i.e. configuring and building in a completely different directory than
the source.
