>From the toplevel Makefile:

#    ROS_BUILDMAP
#        This variable controls if map files are to be generated for 
executable
#        output files. Map files have the extension .map. The value can be 
either
#        full (to build map files with assembly code), yes (to build map files
#        without source code) or no (to not build any map files). The variable
#        defaults to no.
#

I think it should work like this (but I havent tested it):
Set the environment var ROS_BUILDMAP to either full or yes, then delete the 
makefile.auto from the toplevel directory (to force rbuild to recreate the 
makefile) and run make (to actually recreate the makefile with rules for 
maps)
