Not that I can remember.

Can I get you a cookie to stop you from being about to cry?

You can probably hack automake/lib/am/subdirs.am to emit a different
$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS) rule; be sure to check that all instances matching
grep recursive automake/automake.in automake/lib/am/*.am
still work as expected.
