I'm not too good on build stuff, but you may be able to do something
like this:

all-local:
        make -f newmat/gnu.mak libnewmat


But maybe you should just set SUBDIRS so the subdirectory gets built
automatically.

There is info documentation about make, automake and autoconf.
There is also a book about automake, autoconf and libtool online:
