well, it depends how much modified it is.
For example, does bin_PROGRAMS really contain only one program?

As I said, the `SUFFIXES' variable is redundant in this case.
But when it is used, you have to separate the suffixes by whitespace:
SUFFIXES = .asm .o

Back to your Makefile.am.  If it really is that simple, you can apply
any of the advices given by Ralf.  For example:

> - avoid per-target flags here to avoid the renamed object files

bin_PROGRAMS = editorD
TLIB_PATH = /home
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(TLIB_PATH)/openal/LINUX -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif -I$(TLIB_PATH)/opengl2d3d \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/zlib -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lpng -I$(TLIB_PATH)/ljpeg \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/vorbis/include -DEDITOR_BUILD
editorD_SOURCES = someSource.cc someAsm.asm
.asm.o:
        $(NASM_PATH) -o $@ -f elf -dLINUX $<

> - write manual rules for all those objects

bin_PROGRAMS = editorD
TLIB_PATH = /home
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(TLIB_PATH)/openal/LINUX -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif -I$(TLIB_PATH)/opengl2d3d \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/zlib -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lpng -I$(TLIB_PATH)/ljpeg \
        -I$(TLIB_PATH)/vorbis/include
editorD_CPPFLAGS = $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -DEDITOR_BUILD
editorD_SOURCES = someSource.cc someAsm.asm
editorD-someAsm.o: someAsm.asm
        $(NASM_PATH) -o $@ -f elf -dLINUX $<

If you think that these advices are not appliable in your case,
post a less simplified version of Makefile.am.

Yes, you did.

Have a nice day,
