Hmmh, I did that change. Changing the -objs suffix is not really an 
option, as it's being used all over the makefiles already. But you're 
right, this conflict needs to be resolved. 

(It also means nobody can build a multi-part object called export.o, but I
suppose that's a limitation we can live with it.)

I think I'll just filter out export.o at the affected places.
