[the start of a series... unfortunately]
Today's annoyance:: prequisites in gmake cannot contain colons.
Example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/colon> cat Makefile
SRC:=$(wildcard *.c)
OBJ:=$(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(SRC))
TARGET=myprog
all: $(OBJ)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJ)
%.o: %.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/colon> ls
Makefile foo:bar.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/colon> make
Makefile:5: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
Solution? According to the gmake bug list, and I'm paraphrasing
slightly :: "Go fuck yourself".

*sigh* I'm off to go rename 10^8+ files...
