I'd recommend to consider alternatives to the `one Makefile.am per
direcory' approach in favor of fewer makefiles, maybe only one
per component. As far as I know automake fully supports this.

Advantages (including less automake time, less make traversing
time, better and direct dependency tracking possible, make can
optimize better, especially in parallel builds with -j).
