BSD Make will automatically put the object files in obj/ if the  
directory exists. Apparently GNU Make will not. Usually just moving  
to obj/ is plenty to cut down on transient files polluting one's  
working directory rather than to also move the source files into a  
separate directory.

If you have so many source files that src/ is necessary then it  
probably would be best to put a Makefile in each src/, and another in  
src1/ .... etc.

Probably ought to have an include/ directory as well.
