Update of bug #66490 (group make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:
To add to what Dmitry says: a pattern match means: the "%" matches any set of
characters and the rest of the string must match exactly.
So a pattern ".%" means, the first character of the string to be matched must
be ".", and there can be any number of characters after that.
So, ".%" does not match "bcd.efg" because it does not start with a ".". ".%"
would match ".efg" though.
Unfortunately you cannot have multiple "%" in a pattern rule.
If what you're trying to do is remove the suffix of the file, take a look at
the basename function. For all filename functions see the manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Name-Functions.html
In general we prefer to answer questions for help and advice on the mailing
lists at either help-m...@gnu.org or bug-make@gnu.org rather than in the bug
tracker.
Cheers!
