[CMake] Multiple executables sharing object files

[David Cole]

One other very good reason, too:
Same target may have two source files of the exact same name, but they exist
in different directories (Abc/Object.cxx and Def/Object.cxx). In that case,
the object files will be further hidden in subdirectories to avoid two files
in the "object files directory" from having a name collision.
