My problem now is that org-mode overwrites the old files every time I tangle them out, therefore also updating the time stamp - even if nothing has changed. Subsequently, when I run make, everything gets recompiled, not just the changed source code files as all time stamps have changed.

How about changing the make file so that the dependence is on the Org file, not on the source file?
You could then arrange for make to call emacs in batch-mode to tangle the source file and then compile it?

Something along the lines of.... (untested, and probably wrong in this way...)

file.o: somefile.org
   emacs -batch --eval '(org-babel-tangle-file "somefile.org")'
   cc file.o ....
