But then this makes target1 ambiguous: is it built with "rule1
whatever" or "rule1 something_new"?

If you just want functions, you might consider a shell script instead of Make.

I have done something similar with make, where my var1 was CC and I
wanted to cross-compile for several targets.  I had a base Makefile
with the definitions and then a little Makefile for each target that
included the base Makefile and redefined the CC variable.  In this
case, the little Makefiles were in a different build directory for
each target, so the ambiguity was solved that way.
