The only way is to avoid declaring two targets with commands in both.

You could do something like this:
.PRE :=
ifndef CFG
lib cli debug cli-debug dll dll-debug distro main cli-distro dll-distro:
$(foreach cfg,$(cfg_list), $(MAKE) CFG=$(cfg) $@;)
.PRE := foo-
endif
...
$(.PRE)lib:
...
$(.PRE)cli:
...
...
That way when CFG is not defined the "original" targets will be changed
to "foo-lib", etc. (or use whatever prefix you like--the goal is just to
change them so they don't conflict).
It looks a bit gross in the makefile but it's better (IMO) than seeing
the warnings printed out.
