Three: wherever you currently declare a dependency on a directory,
instead declare a dependency on a .exists file *in* that directory.
Then have the rule for a .exists file create its directory and touch
the .exists file:

%/.exists:
        mkdir -p $(@D) && touch $@

$(objDir)/%.d: %.cpp $(objDir)/.exists makefile

would then work just fine.
