Hi,
I have:

  AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects

  System_LTLIBRARIES = modules/System/system.la
  modules_System_system_la_SOURCES = modules/System/system.c
  modules_System_system_la_LDFLAGS = -module

and now it works better with:

  modules/System/system.la
  modules/System/system.lo
  modules/System/system.o

generated.
