Please provide an actual working example that shows your problem. This
makefile is malformed and has lots of missing variable assignments, etc.
I tried to condense it down into a reproducible test case but it worked
for me both with GNU make 3.81 and the latest make:
$ cat Makefile
SUBDIRS := a b c
.PHONY: $(SUBDIRS)
c : a b
$(SUBDIRS):
@echo "=> Working on '$@'..."
+cd $@ && sleep 2
$ mkdir -p a b c
$ make-3.81 -j3 c
=> Working on 'a'...
=> Working on 'b'...
cd a && sleep 2
cd b && sleep 2
=> Working on 'c'...
cd c && sleep 2
