It might do what you want if you build these common sources into two 
convenience libraries -- look that term up in the docs -- and change the 
link options for the various programs to use the appropriate convenience 
library.  So:

[common sources] + [option set 1] = [convenience library 1]
[object set 1] + [convenience library 1] = [program set 1]

[common sources] + [option set 2] = [convenience library 2]
[object set 2] + [convenience library 2] = [program set 2]
