This is nice one.

so we could use __FILE__ with Makefile to solve this problem. We could
 use __FILE__  in our program and define Makefile for each directory.
From toplevel directory, call using - make -C subdir/ . This will give
help __FILE__ macro to exapand to just filename since "make" is
executing inside the directory.
