The GNU Make manual is quite useful - and very well-written too. Go and download it and sit down for an afternoon, away from the keyboard, read sections of it. Good indexes and cross-references too. I think you probably want to do "make -n", for make to just print out what it will do, and just read what all the variables expanding to. It is really just Goal : dependencies How-to-make-goal-from-dependencies There is a section on implicit variables ($@, $^, $<, $CC) and patterns and substitutions, (usage of subst). As I said, it is very well written, and explains a lot of things much better than I or anybody could ever do in a short e-mail :-).

I haven't been following your work at all, so I could be wrong. I think you want to modify the first of the above line to: $(OBJ_DIR)/$(FTBENCH_BIN): $(OBJ_DIR)/ftbench.$(SO) ... And elsewhere in the makefile, there should be a pseudo-target of the form: all : binary1 binary2 binary3 binary4 (in multiple lines continued and separated by "\") You want to change that to this sort of pattern too: all : $(OBJ_DIR)/binary1 ...
