 Log Message:
 Set .PREFIX early the same place .TARGET is set. This makes sure it's
 defined even in cases where the suffix search logic is skipped, such
 as .PHONY targets, and fixes PR 43534.
 
 Note: because .PHONY targets do not get suffix searching, .PREFIX will
 not have any suffixes removed. This seems vaguely logical, although
 it's not the only reasonable interpretation.
 
 We may also want to reconsider whether suffix rules are skipped for
 phony targets, too. That behavior is somewhat counterintuitive.
