When gnatmake is invoked with --subdirs= but not with -P, the specified
subdirectory will now be created, if it does exist, and it will be used
as the object directory as if -D had been used.
The test for this is to invoke gnatmake as such:
   gnatmake --subdirs=toto main.adb
The subdirectory toto should be created and should contain ALI and object
files.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2011-08-03  Vincent Celier  <cel...@adacore.com>

        * make.adb (Initialize): If --subdirs= is used, but no project file is
        specified, attempt to create the specify subdir if it does not already
        exist and use it as the object directory as if -D had been specified.
