I don't understand it either.  In the current automake, just before
this patch's location we have this:

        # Avoid defining needless variables.
        next if (scalar @files == 0);

Probably one of your earlier patches changed this?
Could you check to make sure?  Maybe we don't want to define the
_OBJECTS variable here either -- ie maybe we should restore the above
if it was removed?
