You haven't said which Automake version you were using.  With
recent versions (>= 1.5 I think), you can build programs or
libraries from sources in subdirectories.

  AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects # Optional, see the manual.
  noinst_LIBRARIES = liball.a
  liball_a_SOURCES = sub1/foo.c sub1/foo.h sub2/bar.c sub2/bar.h ...

(It's good style to list headers files in _SOURCES instead of
EXTRA_DIST, even if they aren't compiled.)
