Nginx modules a all compiled in. There is no mechanism to build and load a shared library.
Fortunately, the makefile is properly configured to recompile only changed stuff. To fine tune dependencies within your module, try NGX_ADDON_DEPS.

Other way is to write you own custom makefile in your module dir. But it may be a complicated thing due to cross platform nature of nginx.
