An alternative approach is to use directory marker files [1] to clean up
the recipes that need output directories and to satisfy Paul's second
rule of makefiles [2].

.SECONDEXPANSION:

%.o: %.cc $(global_deps) | .deps/$$(@D)/.DIR
	$(call quiet,CXX $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS)) -c $(FINAL_CXXFLAGS) $< -o $@ -MD -MP -MF .deps/$*.d

%/.DIR:
	@mkdir -p $(patsubst %/.,%,$(@D))
	@touch $@

.PRECIOUS: %.DIR
