At this point it's not available. Doing something generic in the WinAVR 
Makefile Template has been difficult.

I would certainly welcome patches to the Makefile Template that would 
allow this ability to specify and output directory, or not. But it would 
have to work for all makefile targets and the user would just set a 
Makefile variable with the output directory, either as an absolute or 
relative path. Oh, and the solution must work on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD 
and Mac OS X, and preferrably NOT dependent on GNU make.

It's a bit of a tall order.

Use the -p switch?

mkdir -p <dir>

I'm assuming you mean the Unix mkdir command....
