yes.

I'm just assuming that the makefile is iterating over all the 
directories, running javac in each.  To quickly compile a small set of 
.java files, I usually do this from within the root of the source 
directory.

	javac -classpath . -d . `find ./ -name "*.java"`

This will generate the .class files alongside the .java files.  Not 
sure how well this will play with make.

If this is what you want, then just include the srcdir and builddir in 
the -classpath argument, like so:
	-classpath $srcdir:$builddir
