The end result was to change the target name from a binary program to a
library. By renaming the file from target to libtarget.la and changing
bin_PROGRAMS to noinst_LIBRARIES I was able to get the IDL generated
client files compiled without linking into other libraries.

Not cleanly.

You could specify the _LINK variable to be `true' or something like
that.  That would prevent linking.  You might have to add a `.PHONY:
programname' for it to make sense though.
