What you list in this mail is typical targets in a makefile.
Options you can recognize that they usually are preceeded by a hypen '-'.
So "make -j config"
pass the option -j to make and you specify the target config.
So to find the list of targets you need to look in the Makefile
that you implicitly ask make to read.
[implicit as make always try to read makefile, Makefile and GNUMakefile]
Some makefile includes a help target so you can do: "make help"
to get a list of available targets. But most do not.
