Simple question: What does 'make [1], make[2]...make[n]' mean?

Greetings: I'm running a generic make via 'Makefile' of some open unix-application source code. I notice the following: ... make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all'. Making all in developers ... ...

Since I got idle time on my hands as I watch the 'make' do its thing, I wonder what the [n] represents.

Regards,
Ric.
