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.
