I'm not sure I take your point? All the syntax-checking is done in the front end of the compiler, which is what the live checking uses. Generating the .o file is little more than reformatting. Do you simply want the .o in hand, as an end in itself? I'm curious to know why.
It used to be that Xcode (as far back as 2?) would compile files to objects in the idle time during editing, but it looks as through that isn't so any more.
You lost total control the day you started using an IDE. If you want to take the "mystery" out of it, the command line is the way to go.
