runtime(doc): update Makefile and make it portable between GNU and BSD

by removing the non-portable GNU variable and using $? instead
Note: this only works for rules with single dependencies.

closes: #15493

+# In *BSD, the variable '$<' is used in suffix-transformation rules (in GNU this
+# is called "implicit rules", and in MS Windows it is called "inference rules").
+# For code portability, it is better to use the '$?' variable for explicit rules.
