For each source file (say named source.c) cmake creates a source.o makefile 
target. So just do make source.o inside the build directory of the 
corresponding source file (and some people where wondering quite recently on 
this mailing list why are those targets useful at all hehe).

If you want to reproduce what cmake does just use "make source.o VERBOSE=1", 
notice the compilation command and do the same.
