First off, this should probably be the .postamble.

But in TalkSoup, I do something like this

before-all::
    $(MKDIRS) $(GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR)/Controllers/Preferences
    $(MKDIRS) $(GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR)/Controllers/ConnectionController

and for the other 10 or so directories too.  Then in your GNUmakefile,
after you include application.make, put in a line like

include GNUmakefile.postamble

In case you want to see further how it works, I have attached the 2 
pertinent makefiles from TalkSoup.
