That's very odd... according to what the Make docs say, that shouldn't
work.  Oh, well.

Anyway, to be safe you really should use $(MAKE) $@ instead of
invoking make by name.  And if you don't want to be plagued by seeing
all those cd commands, prefix 'em with @

default all verif clean depend install:
	@cd FirstDir
	@$(MAKE) $@
	@cd ..
	@cd SecondDir
	@$(MAKE) $@
	@cd ..
