 | It still does not work - anything obviously wrong in the example?
 
 Yes, it is unrelated to the backout of the code:
 
      .PATH           A variable that represents the list of directories that
                      make will search for files.  The search list should be
                      updated using the target `.PATH' rather than the
                      variable.
 Which means:
 
        .PATH=sub
 
 is incorrect and should be:
 
        .PATH: sub
