You will always run into this problem anytime you try to put $(OBJECTS)
onto a command line.

A work-around:  Create a library and have each source file inserts its
object file into the library as part of its build action.  Have the exe
file depend on the object files, but have it link from the library.
Don't let the library get out of sync with the objects.
