I don't believe you. Probably you mean this:
${MOD_CPP}: $${@F.o=.cpp}
(note the double-$).

GNU make does not support this syntax ($$@ etc. in the prerequisites
list). See the GNU make manual, section "Incompatibilities and Missing
Features".
As suggested there, you can rewrite this rule using static pattern
rules, like this:
$(MOD_CPP): $(MODULE_DIR)/%.o : %.cpp
@echo "..."
...
This will work with GNU make, and with clearmake -C gnu.
