The following works for me.  You need a default rule or else make gets 
really confused but the wildcard rule will catch everything else.

SUBDIRS=sub sub1

all:
    @for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
       $(MAKE) -C $$i $@; \
    done

%:
    @for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
       $(MAKE) -C $$i $@; \
    done
