No. VPATH isn't used until long after the makefiles are all read in;
whatever value it has at the end of the parsing is the value it will
have for all targets.
You could do one of two things: use the VPATH variable as a
target-specific (or pattern-specific) variable (I think this will work).
Or, use a more restrictive pattern for vpath, so instead of:
vpath %.c ...
you do something like:
vpath $(prefix)/%.c ...
where the prefix variable restricts the values to match the "current"
location, whatever that is.
