That's how I do it at the moment, but I want to convert to a non-recursive make, and then the AM_LDFLAGS will apply to the other directories as well.

Agreed. That is definitely a better solution, I like it a lot :-)
Actually, now that you point it out, I would hit that problem myself, since m4 has normal _LTLIBRARIES, noinst_LTLIBRARIES and modules. I would be happy if I could do this:
~ AM_LDFLAGS = everything gets these ~ noinst_LTLIBRARIES_LDFLAGS = these are for convenience libs ~ lib_LTLIBRARIES_LDFLAGS = these are for other libtool libs ~ libm4_la_LDFLAGS = but I can override non module libs individually
That is, I think target specific flags should override PRIMARY group flags, not be in addition to them.
Cheers,
Gary.
