This seems sensible.

Don't some systems including even Mac OS X use something other than ELF?
With that in mind, should it perhaps be named _object_files?

Also, can we perhaps be a little more generous on matching core files?

On Linux it is configurable via /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern, similarly
on Solaris via coreadm(1M) and FreeBSD via the sysctl variable
kern.corefile. 

While the defaults for those systems are core.pid, core and cmd.core,
respectively, I'd be inclined to match (core*|*.core) on any system.
