The $ is a Java thing so GCJ may have its hands tied.

Um. Ouch.
I wonder if there's any opportunity to discuss this naming convention with the GCJ folks, and maybe get it changed? This will make using GNU make (or any other make) with GCJ quite painful. For whatever reason, handling of special characters in make is and always has been an ill-defined and difficult area... best to simply avoid them.
Characters which are special to GNU make are whitespace, colon (":"), and dollar ("$"). If you're being cautious it's not a bad idea to avoid semicolon (";") and sharp/pound ("#"), and _maybe_ equal ("=") as well.
