After the result of 'make' yes.

I don't believe automake is designed to do that as it is right now.
However you can use symlinks to simulate this.

In the directory that you want the .a files to appear create a symlink
from there to the directory in which you are building your libraries.
In that way they will appear to be in the other directory that you
want them to appear.
