are all first-order targets for debugging and development purposes. I
started using macros

The following Makefile:
condset: COND ?= one
condset: condset2
@echo $@ COND [$(COND)]
condset2: COND ?= two
condset2: condset3
@echo $@ COND [$(COND)]
condset3: COND ?= three
condset3:

outputs:
condset3 COND [three]
condset2 COND [two]
condset COND [one]
I would have
