Make question concerning "$$@"

It seems that string replacement doesn't work for "$$@"!

I am trying to write make files for the following situation:

  - source files are in one directory 
  - object files and targets are in a SUBdirectory of the sources
    (one subdir for each different machine we compile for).
    THe MAKEFILE is in this object directory.

In a makefile I want to say that the object files depend on the source
files in the parent dir. I write:

$(SRCFILES:.c=.o) : ../$($@:.o=.sim)

but that gives funny values for $$@ (try make -d) and "$$(@:.o=.sim)"
doesn't work (syntax error from make).
When I just write "$$@", I of course get the object file for $$@.

What can I do?

Thanks for any help.
