This is a really nice solution.

I wonder if we might in the future consider a way to put the list of
host objects for each directory in the directory itself (e.g.
lib/libfdt/Makefile might have hostobj-y += COBJS-libfdt). I'm not
sure if that would work with all tools requiring different libraries
though/
