GNUMake: Existence Dependence vs. Newness Dependence

I place my objects in a separate directory from my source files. The
directory name for the objects is dynamically built based on the
build options. I want the build process to create these directories
if they don't exist, but my object file doesn't care if the directory
is newer than itself. Is there a way to specify that a dependency
is a dependency in existence only (as opposed to existence and
newness)?
