./a.out: a.o
        @echo $@  # Prints a.out instead of ./a.out

[...]

So what is the difference between "a.out" and "./a.out" that makes you
need the latter?

I need ./a.out in a call to patsubst like this one:

$(PATH_TO_OBJECTS)/%.o: ...
        # Get source file that corresponds to an object file
        $(patsubst $(PATH_TO_OBJECTS)/%.o,$(PATH_TO_SOURCES)/%.c,$@))

The problem occurs when PATH_TO_OBJECTS starts with './', e.g. './objects' Then $@ returns just 'objects' and the call to patsubst fails.
