Something like this:
SUBDIRS = A B
prog:
prog lib: $(SUBDIRS)
$(SUBDIRS):
$(MAKE) -C $@ $(MAKECMDGOALS)
.PHONY: $(SUBDIRS) prog lib
Does this not do something you need?
You can also make simple prerequisites, like:
a: b
to make sure everything builds in the right order in the face of
parallel builds.
