objtool is looking only in the current folder. If you want to add
some other source files you have to copy them to the project folder
before calling objtool.
VMLAB only uses the files which are listed in the prj-file for
source level debugging. But it can only jump into these files if
they are referenced by the COFF.

I assume we will never know about that. Mostly such issues depends
on historical issues or ...
