Then you're out of luck.  All you can do is add a variable to TARGET at
the beginning, then add to that; something like:

        TARGET = $(PRE_TARGET)
        TARGET += post stuff

        PRE_TARGET = $(ABC)
        PRE_TARGET += $(DEF)

Etc.

I'm not sure what you mean; can you post an example?

Any setting of TARGET (other than +=) will override any previous
setting.
