[CMake] Is there an elegant way to get list of object files participating into a library?

It's better to have a well-defined API, so you should know what  
symbols to export...
Additionally, since gcc can also be selective about the symbols to  
export, maybe adding the proper export flags in the code would also be  
a solution.
