There is a way to achieve half of the effect, as described in the manual
using static pattern rules. But, static pattern rules are not a 100%
replacement.

If all of your $(FILES_IN_DIR_A) are of the form $(DIR_A)/somefile, then
you can use static pattern rules as follows:
$(FILES_IN_DIR_A): $(DIR_A)/% : $(DIR_B)/%
do_something

The next version of GNU make (3.80) does support this strange SysV
construct--at least to some extent.
