Always...unless you use special variable .DEFAULT_GOAL that is. To
quote the info pages:
3.6 Other Special Variables
===========================
GNU `make' also supports other special variables. Unless otherwise
documented here, these values lose their special properties if they are
set by a makefile or on the command line.
`.DEFAULT_GOAL'
Sets the default goal to be used if no targets were specified on
the command line (*note Arguments to Specify the Goals: Goals.).
