Because there is one rule and there are many directories. They just all
match the .*/*XB.h pattern.

The makefiles (or at least most of them) are independent of the actual
names of components in the software, but if I have a component ABC then
there should be a rule that matches target .ABC/ABCXB.h and that has
ABC/ABCXB.itm as prerequisite.

That does not seem to match a target of .ABC/ABCXB.h


Replacing .%XB.h with _/%XB.h is not too bad though. And then I can
easily have my prerequisites start with or without the _/ part.
