First I'd say this is a really strange idea, as the purpose of make is 
precisely to _not_ do the same thing twice. So maybe you should reconsider 
what you are trying to do... But if you really have a good reason for this, I 
only see one solution:

.PHONY: hello hello-twice

hello:
        @echo Hello

hello-twice:
        make hello
        make hello

then run 'make hello-twice'
