You're adding things to it, but it won't be reflected by those changes. I have this fixup for it on top locally, the reference to 852ec00310 is to a commit in your repo: -- >8 -- Makefile: fix scalar "make objects" regression In 852ec00310 (scalar: create a rudimentary executable, 2021-04-10) the contrib/scalar/scalar.o file was added to OBJECTS, but was added below the "objects" target. That target was added in 029bac01a8 (Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs & objects targets, 2021-02-23) along with others (git-objs, test-objs) to serve as ad-hoc targets for e.g. compiling during interactive the targets need to come after we fully declare the variable. Before this change we'd still do /some/ scalar things on "make objects", namely create the contrib/scalar/.depend/ directory (see dep_dirs in the context), we just wouldn't create the object itself.
