Ah.  You didn't say the compiler needed them to be uppercase.

Nope.

You have no choice but to write out all your target/prerequisite
patterns explicitly, or at least get make to create them for you
dynamically using includes and auto-re-exec.

  nw> If I hardcode the following implicit rule it works:

  nw> yomobset.o YOMOBSET.mod : yomobset.F90

Note that does not mean at all the same thing.  This rule is identical
to writing:

 yomobset.o : yomobset.F90
        @compile .....
 YOMOBSET.mod : yomobset.F90
        @compile .....

  nw> so what I need is implicit rules of the form:

  nw> %.o uppercase(%).mod : %.F90
  nw>        @compile .....
  nw> %.o lowercase(%).mod : %.F90
  nw>        @compile .....

  nw> How do I achieve this ?

You cannot.
