This message means that there are targets listed on the left-hand side
which do not contain a pattern character (%).

Since none is obvious here, my suspicion is that somewhere in your path
(results of `pwd`) you have a directory which contains a space, or
somehow the value of the ssp variable contains a space.

After you've defined objdird/objdirr, try putting this line in for
debugging:

  __d := $(shell echo '../$(objdird)/%.o  ../$(objdirr)/%.o' 1>&2)

and see what it prints.
