The following makefile snippet should do the job for you.
all:
cd subdir_1; $(MAKE) all
cd subdir_2; $(MAKE) all
The critical thing to keep in mind is that make executes each "line" in
its own shell. As such, the "cd" and the corresponding "make" should
belong to the same "line" as far as make is concerned.
