Everything builds fine, but a make install fails with a libtool first

linker can't find "-lBAR" -- probably because the BAR and BAZ
libraries haven't been installed yet.

Is there any way to describe this install dependency in automake?  Is
reordering the libraries in the Makefile.am necessary and/or sufficent?

This is an on-going problem with Automake and difficult to solve. The only current solution is to carefully order the list of libraries so they happen to be installed in a working order.
