Alas, no.
First, that won't work. That variable-substitution syntax is a
non-portable extension.
Second, it's unnecessarily redundant. The full, correct, dependencies for
imcc should already be recorded in languages/imcc/Makefile. There is no
point in reproducing them in the root Makefile as well.
I suspect it's best to have an IMCC_PROG target that simply
unconditionally does a cd to languages/imcc and calls $(MAKE). However, I
fully recognize that Leo's intent was "a minimum patch to build imcc as
the parrot executable", and hence the current state (where the *.o line is
simply deleted) is probably fine for now.
