There isn't a single standard, but there are a few choices that will
work better than others.
One is to use AC_LINK_FILES to give your platform-specific file a
standard name at configure time. libgcj uses this approach.

With 1.4d (or cvs) automake you can probably use this directly using
conditionals and just listing the source files in _SOURCES.

You could use convenience libraries but that is really overkill for
this.
