I think it works despite the strange warning about multiple targets?

But regardless, you can use conditionals around commands in a target,
instead of the target itself, so you could presumably avoid the problem
overriding rules that way, e.g.:

  foo$(EXEEXT):
  if MY_CONDITION
	do stuff
  else
	do different stuff
  endif

Then you only get the warning about overriding a builtin rule.

No idea how much that helps with your problem though.
