  It's conditionally assigned:

ifneq ($(ENABLE_STATIC),)
TARGET = $(STUBDATA_LIBDIR)$(LIBSICU)$(TARGET_STUBNAME)$(ICULIBSUFFIX).$(A)
endif

  There are a couple of Makefile.in where it's defined like that....

  This does look like a very icu-specific thing though, so I think it should be 
fixed in icu.mk itself, by setting TARGET= in the _ENV.

  Arnout
