Ok, assuming that solution 1 did not meet your requirements, lets give it
another shot:
===
COPIES=copy1 copy2 copy3 copy4
.INTERMEDIATE: dummy
all: $(COPIES)
$(COPIES): %: dummy
$(RM) $<
dummy: Makefile
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy1
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy2
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy3
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy4
touch $@
===
I create an extra file "dummy" for a short time in an attempt to live up to
all your requirements.
