Oops. I keep forgetting that it works for SUBDIRs.

It should be changed for all directories that have objects in them. E.g.,
it should be changed for building `make' as part of the build-tools target,
but it doesn't need to be changed for building cc as part of the tools
target. It should be changed for building cc anyway, because the top
top level Makefile shouldn't know about the layout of the lower level
directories. Only 1 of the 29 `${MAKE} depend all ...' commands in
/usr/src/Makefile doesn't need to be changed :-).
