Sometimes yes you really do.  Not for this trivial example, but it's
certainly valid for faking a convenience library and avoiding major
build redundancies.  See my new feature request #5515 "standard way to
locate object files" in the bug tracker.  http://www.cmake.org/Bug  It
includes an extensive example of how to do it in an non-standard way.
You can see the same code working for real in my tutorialized Chicken
Scheme build.  http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org
