I don't think there will be macro references in _OBJECTS. So a simple
sed script will suffice.
It would be nice if somebody sat down and figured out how to eliminate
the GNU make dependencies from libgcj. Maybe adding a Makefile.am in
each subdir would help (that would be painful). Or maybe some other
approach.
