Cmake always generates object files with a compound extension.  I'm
already asking cmake people, but a work-around may not be forthcoming.

What is the right way to get OPTLINK fixed?

Wait. Optlink is written in ASM and is in he process of being converted to 
C. Until that happens, don't expect any bug fixes. OTOH a wrapper that copies 
files and munges names wouldn't be that hard to write.
