Yes, I was afraid of this.  Make has some special handling for "./" to
treat it as a no-op so that rules that include it match properly with
rules that don't (e.g., "foo.c" and "./foo.c" are treated as the same
file).

I tried an experiment and this will work (if it helps):

        $(CURDIR)/.%XB.h: %XB.itm

However, it also means you have to add $(CURDIR)/ to all your targets;
e.g.:

        all: $(CURDIR)/.ABC/ABCXB.h

You can get away with a relative path but it must be more complex than
"./"; for example:

        TARGETDIR = ../$(notdir $(CURDIR))
        
        all: $(TARGETDIR)/.ABC/ABCXB.h
        
        $(TARGETDIR)/.%XB.h : %XB.itm

You can, of course, use make functions like $(addprefix ...) to
construct these names.

Or, you can use what you have already :-)
