They do not.  Only lib/Makefile.in is expected to use @address@hidden
Create a library if you want to use these objects elsewhere.
(The Automake manual has a section about this.)

AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR only tells configure where to find the
source files some tests need.  It has nothing to do with how
@LIBOBJS@ is filled.
