I can think of three things, the last one might be the most applicable.

1. I believe the libtool manual has some examples, where they show how 
to include two rules - one for shared and one for static. I'm not sure 
if this can be extended to what you want? See section 5.2 of libtool, 
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html

2. If you need to have different configure options for each, it might be 
worthwhile and easiest instead to use the VPATH build feature (if your 
Makefiles support that) and a shell script to set the options. Then in 
each subdirectory you'll have the built objects. The same goes for 
building different architectures also.

3. Alternatively, the automake manual talks about building multiple 
objects from the same source, see the example for "true" and "false". 
Section 4.2 at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html. This might be 
what you need if you have debug activated from a #define, for example.
