Re: difference between `make' and `make all'?

Pardon my ignorance here, but these statements seem
contradict each other.

1) `make' starts with the first target if none is specified.
2) the first target (in GNUmakefile) is `local-dist'.
3) `make' = `make all'.

Not a big deal, just curious to understand this a little
better.

Also, is `make default' yet another way of doing the same
thing?

`make' = `make all' = `make default' ?

Thanks.
