I don't know of any make systems that support that syntax; definitely
it's not anything defined in the POSIX standard for make.

In GNU make you can do something like:

  ROOTS = jhi klm opq

  OUT = $(patsubst %,abc/def/%.a,$(ROOTS))

See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Text-Functions.html
for some other possibilities.
