2.5.7 introduces:

-------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Rule to link composite objects
#

# for make >= 3.78 the following is cleaner:
# multi-used := $(foreach m,$(obj-y) $(obj-m), $(if $($(basename $(m))-Objs), $(m)))
multi-used := $(sort $(foreach m,$(obj-y) $(obj-m),$(patsubst %,$(m),$($(basename $(m))-objs))))
                                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ld-multi-used := $(filter-out $(list-multi),$(multi-used))
ld-multi-objs := $(foreach m, $(ld-multi-used), $($(basename $(m))-objs))
------------------------------------------------------------


If the basename of some object is "export" (i.e. export.o), then the
underlined section referes to "export-objs" which is a macro that
already has a well defined meaning.

Maybe it should be "-Objs" or "-components" or ...
