As far as I know, every other similar tool works the same way:

   $ gcc -c foo/foo.c

foo.o is outputted to the current directory.

The common solution that I know is to use makefiles to manage file 
dependencies. For example, the rule for .di specifies the file that it 
depends on (the .d corresponding to that .di) and 'make' handles it 
automatically.
