Good!

This does not seem to be the problem because, according to the FreeBSD make 
manual, "Variables are expanded by surrounding the variable name with either 
curly braces (`{}') or parentheses (`()')".
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?make(1)

The problem seems to be that BSD make does not support pattern rules[1], 
only suffix rules[2]. The GNU make manual says that "Suffix rules are 
obsolete because pattern rules are more general and clearer.".
