No, not really.  GNU make (most makes, actually, not just GNU make)
doesn't like colons in filenames.  There's no good way around this.

Ideally you would convince whatever tool you're using to generate files
with some other character than colons in the names.

Alternatively you can try to create symlinks to the colon-named files
from filenames with some other character.

Or, use a different build tool than make, like cook, Odin, etc.
