Yes, `OBJECTS' was removed.

Just define BUILT_SOURCES instead.
In the past people avoided BUILT_SOURCES because it introduced a
`Makefile: $(BUILT_SOURCES)' dependency, which has weird effects.
That's no longer the case; BUILT_SOURCES should be safe now.

Barring more information, I don't think this part needs patching.
