Err... that's not how I read the following section in SHLIB.in

makeobjs="OBJS=\"${objs}\""
if test -r Makevars; then
  makefiles="-f Makevars ${makefiles}"
  if grep '^ *OBJS *=' Makevars >/dev/null; then
    makeobjs=
  fi
fi

The intention seems to be that OBJS is looked for in Makevars, and if
it does not work for you it needs fixing in SHLIB, not INSTALL.
It *did* work for me when I tried it:

auk% cat foo/src/Makevars
OBJS=foo1.o
auk% Rdev INSTALL foo
Installing source package `foo' ...
 libs
gcc -I/opt/R/R-devel/include  -I/usr/local/include   -fPIC  -O2 -g -Wall
-pedantic -c foo1.c -o foo1.o
gcc -G  -o foo.so foo1.o -L/usr/local/lib
...
auk% ls foo/src
Makevars  foo.so*   foo1.c    foo1.o    foo2.c

There is no such file in the current R sources that I can find: are
you working on the latest version?
