When I call

$ make foo bar baz

foo, bar and baz are all forwarded successfully but it will also output:

make: Nothing to be done for 'bar'.
make: Nothing to be done for 'baz'.

but no such output for foo
Any idea?

Ok, I figured it out, this did the trick:

$(filter-out all,${MAKECMDGOALS}) all: .forward-all
    @# no-op
