A simple rule of "all files are in the project" is more amenable to audit.

 Maybe your wildcard use is very simple,

My wildcards are often recursive, and cover different kinds of files, so they are not entirely simple.  (That also makes it easier to re-use virtually the same makefiles in different projects.)

were important part in obfuscationg presence of maliciuous code
in lzma.

I admit I have been thinking primarily about work projects where commit access is only from a few people.  If there are malicious actors involved, then probably any way to organise files and projects can be abused.

 But more important part is keeping info together, inside Makefile.
 

Agreed.  That is a lot more important than whether the list of files in the build is generated from a wildcard pattern specified in the makefile, or from a manual list of files in the makefile.
