Setting/Modifying variable specific to target in Makefile

Hi,

I have a small piece of Makefile script which throw's error on Sun Sparc machine, but works fine with Sun Optron, Linux, AIX machines.
Code:
FOO=Naveen
test1:FOO=Dhilip

test1:
@echo FOO is ${FOO}

test2:
@echo Me is ${FOO}

Output on Sun Sparc -
Code:
ukhml-v890new-~/test: make test1
make: *** No rule to make target `FOO=Dhilip', needed by `test1'. Stop.

Output on Sun Optron -
Code:
ukhml-helios-~/shivtest: make test1
FOO is Dhilip

Anyone has an idea, why this syntax error thrown on Sun Sparc ?

Regards.,
Naveen Sriram.

NAME
jmkmf - runs jmake with the correct options SYNOPSIS
jmkmf [ top-level dir [ current dir ] ] DESCRIPTION
Jmkmf is a wrapper which calls jmake with the correct options, defining the symbols TOPDIR (location of the top-level directory) and CURDIR (current directory). The generated Makefile.SH is then ran through /bin/sh to produce a Makefile. Jmkmf is useful when you generate a makefile for the first time. When ran without arguments, jmkmf will scan the directories upwards, looking for a .package file marking the top of your sources. It will then derive the top-level directory and the name of the current directory by itself. Once you have a Makefile.SH generated by jmake, and have run Configure already, you can use make Makefile.SH to build the Makefile.SH again and make Makefile to run the Makefile.SH through /bin/sh. To use the recursive commands, you have to append an 's' at the end of the name as in make Makefiles.SH and make Makefiles. AUTHOR
