There's plenty of examples of this sort of thing in the GNU make
documentation. I'm guessing you're trying to do something like
code0000.blah.grc: blah
cd objdir
obj-res blah
which doesn't work because they're two separate commands.
code0000.blah.grc: blah
cd objdir && obj-res blah
on the other hand works (there's heaps of this sort of thing in the
prc-tools makefiles).

True. Because there's no compatibility problem (this old behaviour was
never useful), I've made obj-res strip off any directories and write to
its current directory, like all the other tools. Because I think obj-res
is a bad design and should be phased out, I wasn't really planning to do
this -- but there's no need to keep the useless behaviour even if the
tool isn't often used. :-)
