No.  You can workaround by making your object be the only one in a
noinst_[LT]LIBRARY and setting per-target flags for that.

If you ask me: don't hold your breath.  You should note that object file
names are an internal Automake detail, so the naming of the respective
*_CPPFLAGS variable is not clear, for starters.  Above would conflict
with a program named localcharset.

Cheers,
