Imakefiles are actually very simple to manipulate.  To do what you
want to do, all imake needs is the rules to build the source into an
object (MakeObjectFromSrc), an "all:" target (AllTarget) that will
just build your objects, and a list of dependencies.  If you use
ComplexProgramTarget, you will have to comment it out since it does
"all of the above" for you.

Here's the Imakefile I played with to get an object-only build,

/*----*/
SRCS = $(SRC)/example.c $(SRC)/main.c
OBJS = example.o main.o

Use_libInterViews()
/* ComplexProgramTarget(main) */

MakeObjectFromSrc(example)
MakeObjectFromSrc(main)

AllTarget($(OBJS))
DependTarget()
/*----*/

Take a look in $IVTOP/installed/config/InterViews/rules.def for
details of available imake macros.
