I upgraded to autoconf 2.52g

[Bruce Korb]

...and after the upgrade, autoconf error-ed out.
It seems this version will not allow me to examine the
contents of LIBOBJS.  I can understand not setting its
value directly, but examining its contents?  Why?
Anyway, this ugly kludgery seems to get through the issue,
but since the recommended usage of AC_LIBOBJ is ineffective
for this purpose, I am left wondering what the proper
method is.  Especially since the autoconf manual itself
in the "Configuration Commands" node has almost precisely the
example here that was objected to by autoconf....
