A rule-variable of the following form:

... is mistaken by automake by a custom production rule for "foo", and
it does not generate a production rule itself.

built both for host and target.  libnativefoo.a needs different
LDFLAGS and RANLIB definitions which automake does not apparently
allows to change.
