No.  But if you write the compile rules yourself, you will know the
names of the objects anyway, so you can make them a prerequisite of
some target.  If your question aims at getting them to be built by
`make all', then `all-local' is the target to be adding them to.

Another option, recalling that you asked about Modula before, is to
integrate support for this language in Automake (and probably Autoconf).
Since I don't know anything about this language's compile and link
semantics, for this I'd appreciate some good pointers (and of course
we appreciate patches too :-).

Cheers,
Ralf
