This syntax is wrong.  You must separate your commands with ";" if you
connect them all with backslashes.

Remember the backslash/newline pairs are removed, so your command above
really is interpreted as:

  cd objs avr-ld -o proj.o -Map proj.map $(addsuffix .o,$(SUBDIRS)) avr-objcopy 
-O ihex -R .eeprom -g proj.o proj.hex

which I feel confident is not what you want.

Look in the GNU make manual for the CURDIR variable.
