An interesting trick, thanks for the suggestion! I quickly tested it
yesterday, and it worked. However, today I've tried make -j3, and it
failed, since make builds libzzz.la and the test1 in parallel, and
building the library takes longer than building the test program.

So, what I actually want is that automake generates dependencies for
libraries in LDADD. I've tried adding "test1_DEPENDENCIES =
$(top_builddir)/libzzz.la" to Makefile.am, but this didn't work (make
said "*** No rule to make target `../../libzzz.la', needed by `test1'.
Stop."), which is normal, since that makefile doesn't know anything
about the library. So, this has to be solved from the top-level
makefile.

How can I specify e.g. that all targets in testsuite depend on
libzzz.la?

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
