You're assuming always running a build in-place. That might not be the
case. Indeed Gentoo has been building Xorg modules out-of-tree for quite
a while now.

In a out-of-tree build, the directories are to be created: with a
recursive Makefile, ./config.status would create them to convert
Makefile.in to Makefile; on a non-recursive Makefile, it is the task of
the target rule to create the directory. Interestingly enough, when
using subdir-objects, the Makefile rules already include that for all
the other targets.
