Off the top of my head without actually trying anything; I think if
your target name "dir" does not actually refer to the directory that
you're creating "OBJECTS" (or any other disc object), then you have
to declare the target as phony near the top of your makefile:

.PHONY: dir

so that make knows that it must always execute the rule (as there's
no disc object of that name for it to check).
