Use the following instead:

    tar -zcvf $(TARBALL) Makefile *.c *.h ./tracer/* \
        License Readme version ./monitor --exclude=./monitor/monitor.o
                                        ^
                                        +--- see below

Note that there is no "/*" after "./monitor" above.

You are explicitly specifying "./monitor/monitor.o" on the commandline
via "./monitor/*", so the exclude option is being ignored.  Hence, the
guess in my previous email was correct.
