Try ...


target : dir1
	make -C dir1 all

This should cause make to execute as though it were started in dir1.

Am I mistaken that the dir1 on the target line will cause the system to 
make only if the directory is newer than the target.  And if so, will ... 

target : dir1/*

... cause target to be remade if any file in dir1 is newer than make.
