I don't think that the patch alters the am__object_X stuff.
Just the dependency rules:
+ ${file}: ${srcdir}/../${file:_moc.C=.h}
+ ${MOC} -o $@ $?
- %_moc.C: $(srcdir)/../%.h
- $(MOC) -o $@ $<

I understand your feelings entirely. GNU make's syntax is extremely
intuitive. However, there are many flavours of make out there other
than GNU and BSD. Unfortunately only GNU make understands gnu-isms.
Given that we use primary purpose of the GNU autotools is to enable
the user to use the tools native to the OS, it seems unfortunate that
we then go on to require the use of GNU make too.
