You're obviously a busy person, sending three copies of your request
to the list in a 10 minute period, so I'll keep this short.

1) you're using pattern rules, not wildcards
2) if you don't want them all to have the same prerequisites, then declare
   the prerequisities separately
3) if you want a variable to have different values for different targets, then
   perhaps you should read the info pages, particularly those sections that
   use the phrase "target-specific".
4) THIS IS ALL IN THE DOCS.  RTFM!
