Again, I find this very hard to believe.  Are you sure you're using GNU
make on those other platforms?  I sincerely doubt it.  Run "make
--version" to be sure.

  ws> $(OBJECTS) : ../$$(@F:.o=.cxx)

This syntax is not and has never been legal in GNU make.

Some other versions of make, like Solaris make, support the $$@
"feature", but GNU make has never done so.

See the GNU make manual section "Incompatibilities and Missing Features"
which explains that this isn't supported in GNU make, and gives a
workaround which should solve your particular problem (although it
doesn't replace every use of $$@).
