make 3.78.1 and 3.79.1 (under Linux 2.2.17 and Solaris 2.5.1) don't handle 
colons in filenames well:

-----------Makefile
bbb\:ext:
        touch bbb:ext
 
aaa: bbb\:ext
-----------

$ make
touch bbb:ext
$ make
make: `bbb:ext' is up to date.
$ make aaa
make: *** No rule to make target `bbb\:ext', needed by `aaa'.  Stop.
$ vi Makefile

-----------Makefile
bbb\:ext:
        touch bbb:ext
 
aaa: bbb:ext
-----------

$ make
Makefile:4: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
