Tab completion of targets is usually done by a separate package, not by GNU make itself: bash-completion.

Yes, that's true. But it is "on-by-default" for 95% of desktop Linux machines, with no special action needed.

Its on until you try to tab-complete a filename that is created through make but the completion script can't detect it at which point the entire bash-completion package is uninstalled.
