     How'bout
     $(MAKE) --directory=libsrc/somelib/src $(ACTION)
     or with '-C' option.
     
     As long as you use GNU make
     
     --lc

No, but I have found the following idiom to work quite well:-
     
cd libsrc && cd somelib && cd src && $(MAKE) -f somelib.mk $(ACTION)
     
You might even find that
     
cd libsrc/somelib/src && $(MAKE) -f somelib.mk $(ACTION)
     
works.
