??? Here's the relevant excerpt from the Make manual:

  `$%'
        The target member name, when the target is an archive member
        *Note Archives::.  For example, if the target is `foo.a(bar.o)'
        then `$%' is `bar.o' and `$@' is `foo.a'.  `$%' is empty when the
        target is not an archive member.

(I do agree that $% is not what the OP wants.)
