[Bug driver/37304] New: [4.4 Regression]: in-tree-binutils gcc configure tests fail because of unexpanded $(objdir)

["hp at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

With a binutils in-tree aka. combined tree, you'll see this non-breaking bug in
the build logs at e.g. revision 139804

Configuring in ./gcc
...
checking if the linker (ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)...

/home/hp/combq/combined/gcc/configure: line 15636: objdir: command not found

I see this as far back as revision 135097, but not in e.g. gcc-4_3-branch
revision 135124.
