I don't think so. Automake works the same way even if you cram all the
source code in one makefile.

I have not seen subdir-objects in libevdev. Xorg has hundreds of
packages the size of libevdev and there seems to be no need for it.
The tests cannot run successfully on my box, so I disabled the building
of the tests. The target 'distcheck' runs ok and a tarball gets created.
I'll try to weed out the failing test cases to try to reproduce your
scenario. Can you post the make distcheck failure?
