Both mmake and mmc --make allow you to force the creation of .mh files,
e.g.

 	mmake foo.mh

 	mmc --make foo.mh

will create the .mh file for module foo.

 	It is also possible to override these variables on a per-file
 	basis. For example, if you have a module called say bad_style.m which
 	triggers lots of compiler warnings, and you want to disable the warnings
 	just for that file, but keep them for all the other modules, then you
 	can override MCFLAGS just for that file. This is done by setting the
 	variable MCFLAGS-bad_style, as shown here:


 		MCFLAGS-bad_style = --inhibit-warnings

In the case where I have multiple binaries foo and bar and want to link
them with foo_c_code.o and bar_c_code.o respectively I would add the
following to my Mmakefile:

 	MLOBJS-foo = foo_c_code.o
 	MLOBJS-bar = bar_c_code.o


mmc --make has similar functionality.

See above.
