Yes it has:

 - Macro: AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE(CMDS)
     Execute the CMDS right before creating `config.status'.  A typical
     use is computing values derived from variables built during the
     execution of `configure':

          AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE(
          [LTLIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/g'`
          AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)])

 - Macro: AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST(CMDS)
     Execute the CMDS right after creating `config.status'.

But I don't know if this is the right way to do it, maybe it'd be
cleaner to provide a hook on AC_LIBOBJ.  The AC_..._PRE/POST method is
more robust (it works if people don't use AC_LIBOBJ but change LIBOBJ
by hand), but it is less clean.
