Are you sure about this? readme.txt in each of the directories
suggests otherwise to me. More precisely, while removing them
from the .git tree might be okay, provisions would then first
need taking for them to be re-generated properly when
releases / tarballs are made. Since that requires some form
of Windows to run MASM, doing so likely wouldn't nicely
integrate into the overall process.

Further, if these really were to be .gitignore-d, wouldn't the
patch sensibly be adding them (perhaps as *.obj pattern) to
.gitignore?
