Nothing wrong in using |AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR but it will |not solve any of
your problems. This macro just tells autoconf where to look for the
generated scripts,

I can configure libevdev with no warning (autoreconf -vfi -Wall). I am
with autoconf 2.68 automake 1.11.

Mesa uses subdir-objects extensively, so you might find hints in there.

http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#index-subdir_002dobjects
which is an option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.

I just happened to be reading the docs for automake from 2.60 to 2.69
and the way to setup subdir-objects have changed. In any case, you need
to test with 2.62. The automake doc on the web is from the latest
version and may not match the version you have on your workstation.
