It can't be done. A specific object file is built from a specific
source file using a specific command. That object file won't be
re-built if it already exists and is newer than the source file.

If you want to build multiple modules which share (some) code, and
don't want to go as far as making the common code into a library, the
parts which differ must be in separate object files and thus separate
source files. See e.g. raster/r.mapcalc/Makefile (which builds both
r.mapcalc and r3.mapcalc).

Don't try to use quick hacks; do it properly. Either clone the file as
e.g. main3.c or make it support both 2d and 3d at run-time.
