Looks good to me. It's at least as good as "make SUBDIRS=fs/qnx4".

My experience with Makefiles and speed is that when I write things to
be correct they also become faster. So don't worry about speed too
much because you will probably get a lot of it "for free".

For example, did you notice how the stock Rules.make recurses *twice*
for each directory level it enters?
