"Should be" in the sense that it should be *made* possible, I gather.

This kind of thing can sometimes be fudged by using some of the
settings somewhat against their nature (maybe LIBS="path.to.it/regex.o
-lm -lf2c..."?) but it isn't pretty and it forces you insert stuff that
configure would normally figure out for you.

I think the correct way of fixing this is to add an XOBJS= line in
config.site and propagate it into the link statement in the relevant
Makefile.

Will think about it and, if I don't come up with any obstacles,
implement for next release.
