The value of $* changes within the same rule

[Martin d'Anjou]

Hi,

I have this rule:

$(VRO_DIR)/%.vro $(INCLUDE_DIR)/%.vrh: ./vera/%.vr
        $(VERA) -h ./vera/$*.vr . && vrhfix ./$*.vrh ./vera/$*.vr
        @if [ ! -d $(INCLUDE_DIR) ]; then mkdir $(INCLUDE_DIR); fi
        mv $*.vrh $(INCLUDE_DIR)
        @if [ ! -d $(VRO_DIR) ]; then mkdir $(VRO_DIR); fi
        mv $*.vro $(VRO_DIR)

And sometimes, not all the times, I get an error message:

vera -h ./vera/system_cfg.vr . && vrhfix ./system_cfg.vrh ./vera/system_cfg.vr
mv: cannot stat `./.tmp.system_cfg.vrh': No such file or directory
Couldn't write ./system_cfg.vrh
make[3]: *** [/work/verif1/shared/vro/system_cfg.vro] Error 1

All the pattern substitutions seems to take place properly, except for the
mv operation.

How can $* on the third line (first mv) change from "system.cfg" to 
".tmp.system_cfg"??

I'm running linux and the file server is solaris.
