I think to do that you either need to write the link rule yourself, or,
using Automake internal knowledge, overwrite object_OBJECTS.  The latter
has implications for dependencies, though, so it would be the right
thing to do only if the linker really requires the source files to be
present only, but not if it requires some object files to be present
that are just not listed on the command line.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
