Can't extract objects form custom_target()

[elmarco]

While trying to add a custom_target() to a plugin in qemu, I reached the following error:

ERROR: Object extraction arguments must be strings or Files.

Here is a small example:

project('object extraction', 'c')

ct = custom_target('custom target', output: ['test.c'], command: ['echo', ''], capture: true)
lib1 = shared_library('somelib', ct)
obj1 = lib1.extract_objects(ct)

help welcome!

Yet another place where a CustomTarget doesn't work when used to compile a library.

It will not be fixed in 0.60, though, so you'll have to wait a bit. Glad to help though :)
