Hi Bob,

I do the same here.  My Makefile.am contains the following lines:

        SUBDIRS = dir1 dir2 dir3

        lib_LIBRARIES = libfoo.a

        libfoo_a_SOURCES =
        libfoo_a_LIBADD = dir1/libfoo1.a dir2/libfoo2.a dir3/libfoo3.a

That's all.  The sub-libraries have to be built before the main
library, it's clear.
