  Ah, I misunderstood the use of "root directory" in "all the .cc in the root
directory", but in that case AFAIK the only way to do it would be

DIR:=/path/to/whereever
CC_FILES_IN_ROOT:=$(shell find $(DIR) -type f -name '*.cc')

(Well, you could actually get horribly tricky with recursive functions adding
successive instances of '*/' to the front of a string that start of as '.cc'
and using $(wildcard) on that, but it's probably not worth the trouble).
