Only $< is not reliable when used in explicit target rules.  $@ is fine.
Next time please do as I asked, and provide the output of the actual error
and not just "this doesn't work".  I had to find a Solaris machine to see
what your Makefile actually does.  (There is a typo in the dependencies in
the explicit target rule for dst.yyy, there is no src.zzz).

Anyway, the use of $< in explicit rules should indeed be changed, either by
making them implicit suffix rules, or by spelling out the explicit dependency
name.  The use of $@ is portable (although the rules have to be looked at
to see if they are not confused by VPATH).  For consistence one could also
change the $@ to explicitely name the target.
