Automake (or make for that matter) is not well designed for handling
rules that produce multiple outputs.  The simplest, most straight
forward way to handle such tools is with relay dependencies and
regular make rules:

   FOO_GEN = foo-hdr.h foo-xdr.c foo-svc.c foo-clnt.c foo-tbl.h
   CLEANFILES = ... $(FOO_GEN) ...
   $(FOO_GEN) : foo-stamp
   foo-stamp : foo.x
        rpcgen -... foo.x
        touch $@
