Apparently not.  Effectively, it complains whenever you use a source file 
in a program and a library:

automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtmlview.$(OBJEXT)' created both with 
libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_part.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_run.$(OBJEXT)' created both with 
libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_factory.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_settings.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_events.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_find.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_ext.$(OBJEXT)' created both with 
libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_pagecache.$(OBJEXT)' created 
both with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_iface.$(OBJEXT)' created both 
with libtool and without
automake: khtml/Makefile.am: object `khtml_printsettings.$(OBJEXT)' created 
both with libtool and without

Similar errors are littered throughout the KDE sources.

I hope this is just an automake bug to be fixed, rather than a new major 
incompatibility that will be a pain if/when a new automake is again 
required for a new libtool.
