Hm. Yea, I think I see the problem. OBJS should only be expanded if
MODULE_big is set.

I don't think it'll apply to most in-tree client side programs, so it
shouldn't be too bad currently. Still should fix it, of course.
I can test that with another program, but for some reason pg_bsd_indent
fails to build against 13/HEAD, but builds fine against 12. Not sure yet
what's up:
/usr/bin/ld.gold: error: indent.o: multiple definition of 'input'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: args.o: previous definition here
/usr/bin/ld.gold: error: indent.o: multiple definition of 'output'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: args.o: previous definition here
/usr/bin/ld.gold: error: indent.o: multiple definition of 'labbuf'
/usr/bin/ld.gold: args.o: previous definition here
...
