yes, it is. Yet it can be useful in certain situations.

Perhaps you could place the library to a separate directory.
Then you'd use AM_CONDITIONAL(MYLIB, ...) in configure.ac
and
if MYLIB
SUBDIRS += mylib
endif
to control whether the recursion of make goes into that dir.
If the make won't recurse, it won't build BUILT_SOURCES there.
Yes, this is just another workaround, but perhaps it'll help you.
