The Makefile is fine - seems like dmake interprets {} specially (see below). 
The command dmake calls is:

       The final non-standard macro expansion is of the form:

              string1{token_list}string2

       where string1, string2 and token_list are expanded.   After  expansion,
       string1  is  prepended to each token found in token_list and string2 is
       appended to each resulting token from the  previous  prepend.   string1
       and  string2  are  not  delimited  by white space whereas the tokens in
       token_list are.  A null token in the token list is specified using  "".
       Thus using another example we have:

              test/{f1 f2}.o     --> test/f1.o test/f2.o
              test/ {f1 f2}.o    --> test/ f1.o f2.o
              test/{f1 f2} .o    --> test/f1 test/f2 .o
              test/{"f1"  ""}.o  --> test/f1.o test/.o

              and

              test/{d1 d2}/{f1 f2}.o --> test/d1/f1.o test/d1/f2.o
                                         test/d2/f1.o test/d2/f2.o

       This  last  expansion  is  activated  only when the first characters of
       token_list appear immediately after the opening '{' with no intervening
       white  space.   The reason for this restriction is the following incom-
       patibility with Bourne Shell recipes.  The line

              { echo hello;}

       is valid /bin/sh syntax; while

              {echo hello;}

       is not. Hence the latter triggers the enhanced  macro  expansion  while
       the  former causes it to be suppressed.  See the SPECIAL MACROS section
       for a description of the special macros that dmake defines  and  under-
       stands.
