8.6 Special handling for LIBOBJS and ALLOCA

Automake explicitly recognizes the use of $(LIBOBJS) and $(ALLOCA), and uses this information, plus the list of LIBOBJS files derived from configure.ac to automatically include the appropriate source files in the distribution (see What Goes in a Distribution). These source files are also automatically handled in the dependency-tracking scheme; see See Automatic dependency tracking.

$(LIBOBJS) and $(ALLOCA) are specially recognized in any ‘_LDADD’ or ‘_LIBADD’ variable.
