Add bbappend conditional task without overriding recipe function

For the given example:

Existing recipe: [some-yocto-upstream-thing_1.0.bb]

do_configure_prepend () {
    <necessary logic>
}

BBCLASSEXTEND = "native nativesdk"

I'm creating a bbappend to this recipe which needs to have a function I wrote be called before the do_configure_prepend gets called. But I only want this function called for the class-target and not for class-native build.

I can create a do_configure_prepend_class-target, but that overrides the recipe version (during class-target builds). But then the existing needed logic won't be run.

I can create a custom task to be called before do_configure_prepend (via addtask) but this is then called for class-native, too (unwanted).

Any ideas? I'd prefer to avoid just overriding an earlier built-in task (do_patch, etc.) since the upstream recipe could eventually define one and I'd be breaking it.

No, using

do_configure_prepend_class-target () {
    <necessary logic>
}

should work. For class-target, do_configure will be prepended by your code.

One example of such a prepend with override is in OE-Core/go.inc.
