If you're working in the same Asterisk source tree that you compiled and installed on the machine, then when you run "make" again, only the files you have modified will be recompiled.  That is just a feature of the build system.

There is also a utility called "astxs" in the contrib/scripts/ directory of the source tree that allows you to directly compile a single module.

$ cd /usr/src/asterisk
$ contrib/scripts/astxs channels/chan_zap.c
