Even neater: Stick the following as GNUMakefile in each of your subdirs:

CURMOD:=$(shell pwd | sed -e 's,.*/src/\(.*\),\1,')
all :
        @cd $${PWD%$(CURMOD)} && $(MAKE) --no-print-directory $(CURMOD)

% :: FORCE
        @cd $${PWD%$(CURMOD)} && $(MAKE) --no-print-directory $(CURMOD)/$@

FORCE:

which automatically transfers any make command up to the top level and re-invokes with the same arguments. (You'll need to tweak the sed command to match your layout.)
