Hmm, I saw somewhere an article that claimed we're all
using make in such a way that gives us these kinds of problems. The real
problem was with SUBDIRS thing - there should be only one makefile for the
whole project for dependencies to really work... :) It was something about
make cannot work correctly with only part of the dependency tree of the
files... I.e. should use make's include directives instead of running
make recursively... => recursive calls of make always gives situations when
dependencies does not work...

Though, I dont know how automake handles this issue...
