Well, ok... The subdir-objects option has been around for over a decade.
automake's git repo's first mention of it is 1999 (and I'm sure it
predates that). Whether intended or not, the autotools setup curl uses
is doing what subdir-objects intends to do.

I tested as far as as automake 1.13.1 (don't have any earlier packages
on hand), and subdir-objects works just fine there as well.

Sure. Works for me on 1.14.
