Fixed partly:
                                | buildkernel  | installkernel |
r329196                         |     OK       |     FAIL(*)   |
r329169 + patch                 |     OK       |     OK        |
r329196 + WITH_AUTO_OBJ         |     FAIL     |               |
r329169 + WITH_AUTO_OBJ + patch |     FAIL     |               |

(*) - same error "Variable OBJTOP is recursive".
