Note also that $^ is not portable as it is also GNU make feature, along
with $(notdir ...).

But in this case it doesn't look like you need $^, or even basename.  I
think you can just replace the string (unfortunately, you'd need to see
the rest of the Makefile to be sure):

  $(notdir $^)
  
with:

  quantum.pm

and it will work just as well, and be portable.
