How about using implicit rule double expansion:


.PHONY: all
all: $(CURDIR)/aoeu/aoeu.mk

/%.mk: $$(notdir\ /%.m)
        cp $(<) $(@)

%/.:
        mkdir -p $(@)

$(CURDIR)/aoeu/aoeu.mk: aoeu.m | $(CURDIR)/aoeu/.


Note that you have to use absolute names for targets
because of the way make mangles paths and stems in
implicit rules (see "Implicit Rule Search Algorithm").
