You can see that coucou.o is not installed, but shows up in installed-files.

I haven’t made a patch yet because I’m not sure what the correct behavior should be. My guess would be to not install the .o file (since it’s added to the archive) and leave it out of installed-files."	defect	closed	minor	5.1	core tools		fixed
