It would indeed be lovely if "make" in subdirectories would find their
way back home.

Yeah, I live in the top directory most of the time, so I go the other
way and just do

   make arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/sigreturn.o

or whatever path I'm interested in (sometimes just a whole subdirectory).

And then I depend on good autocomplete of filenames, so I never
actually type out that full path.
