make-3.79.1 doesn't like filename with =

[nbecker]

Here is my makefile:

------------
TESTS := test.size=216.esno=4.space=1.05.iter=6.equal.test \
        test.size=216.esno=4.5.space=1.05.iter=6.equal.test

LOGS := $(TESTS:%.test=%.log)

default : $(LOGS)

TEST := ../iTestIC

%.log : %.test
        $(TEST) $(OPT) $< 2>$@

--------------

Now watch:
make -d test.size=216.log
[....]
[tries to make default target]

It seems to totally ignore the target I specified on the command line!
Changing the name by removing the '=' sign seems to fix it!

example: make  test.size.216.log
make: *** No rule to make target `test.size.216.log'.  Stop.
