You don't need a configure.ac in that directory. It does not matter where you define LIBOBJS (i.e. where the call to AC_LIBOBJ is), only where you use it. Please pick any project like coreutils, tar, or texinfo and see how LIBOBJS is usually used (AC_LIBOBJ or friends in configure.ac, and $(LIBOBJS) in lib/Makefile.am).
