[CMake] Incorrect object file name on cmake compilation

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Ravi.

In what sense is the name "incorrect?" There is no correct/incorrect way to
name object files in relation to the source file name; it can be arbitrary,
as long as it's correctly passed on to the linker. I believe CMake chooses
to append ".obj" to the whole file name if there is more than one file with
the same base name. But why should this be a problem?
