I agree that it's a problem, but the question is: where is the reason
for that problem? So far, I see no evidence that the reason is in
Make. To the contrary, I see evidence that Make is working correctly:
the value of $(CURDIR) is computed by Make when it starts, and its
value clearly shows that Make starts in the directory where you
invoked it.

Invoke Make with the "--debug=all" command-line switch, and post here
everything that it prints when running the following Makefile:
all:
echo $(CURDIR)
echo $(shell cd)
