The above line is wrong.  You should refer to tclmsgque.la rather than 
'*.lo'.  Wildcard specifications do not belong in an Automake 
makefile.

The .lo files are necessary in order to satisfy makefile dependency 
logic.  When shared libraries are supported, the object files are 
built as PIC (when necessary/supported) even if they appear in a 
static archive file.

You have the option to re-do your makefiles to use a non-recursive 
build.  This allows the dependencies to be fully known to one makefile 
and makes it possible to avoid using libtool convenience libraries. 
Creating libtool convenience libraries for the sole purpose of being 
able to refer to the object files in a different directory is 
wasteful, even though its a common usage.
