2 modules from 1 source ?

Id like to build 2 modules (with different names)
from a single source file, with 2nd being dependent
on the 1st.

Specifically, Ive got:
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c

I want
A:  lib/test_dynamic_debug.ko
B:  lib/test_dynamic_debug_submod.ko

I expect that the code just needs an #ifdef #else #endif
block to clearly put the dependor & dependee elements
next to each other.

My question is how to do this in the Makefile ?
this does most of it

--- a/lib/Makefile
+++ b/lib/Makefile
@@ -78,7 +78,8 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_TEST_SORT) += test_sort.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_TEST_USER_COPY) += test_user_copy.o

+CFLAGS_test_dynamic_debug_submod.o += -DTEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD
 obj-$(CONFIG_TEST_PRINTF) += test_printf.o

but how do I tell it the 2nd target ?
