Often they do, but GNU says that a simple "make" should behave like 
"make help".  I think this is appropriate for org mode since there is no 
INSTALL file that explains what to do and in most cases one would have 
to put some things in local.mk before running "make install".

I opted for this behaviour to align more closely to GNU convention and 
to avoid any surprising behaviour, but it is easy to make the default 
target "all" instead of "help".

That's not exactly comparable since the Makefile for Emacs is the result 
of ./configure, so for Emacs make is just another tool used in a larger 
build system.
