If that's true then there's a very simple solution: use VPATH.
Write your makefile like this:
SOURCES = ...
VPATH = $(sort $(dir $(SOURCES)))
dir3/subdir3/%.o : %.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<
All done!

Well there are a number of bugs in 3.80 that are fixed in 3.81. But
you may not need any of the newer 3.81 features for what you want to
do.
