I have tried to browse over to
http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.25_08.tar.gz
and obtained "HTTP 404 - File not found". I truncated the filename
and that apparenty resolved to:
http://magnonel.guild.net/~schwern/src/
and in there I see no 6.25_08 file. I have been unable to locate
the 6.25_08 kit.
Hence I now present a revised patch to 6.25_07 to address
the object library object insertion issue while retaining a dependency
on the .exists file that you want (and was present in previous MakeMakers):

I hope that helps/suffices.
