The fundamental problem is that the make library finds files by
implicit path searches (of various kinds) which is inherently wobbly
no matter how many bandaids are applied.
The robust approach is to change the makefiles to do
.for S in $(SRCS:M*.c)
$(OBJDIR)/$(S:T:R).o: $(S)
$(COMPILE.c) $(S) -o $(.TARGET)
.endfor
and forget about make's builtin objdir hackery entirely. Unfortunately
there are many reasons why this is not a trivial undertaking...
