That's because the Xcode indexer indexes files it knows are included in 
a target, and Xcode doesn't parse makefiles and thus can't know which 
files it'll compile (not that it could do so reliably anyway). With 
another target were all the c/cpp files are marked as being part of it, 
the indexer does its job.
