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.
