Kingsly - this is something you could have verified trivially.

[root@fileserver linux-2.4.17]# make -n install
echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \"2.4.17\" > .ver

Getting the facts straight before posting is no longer considered
"in" on this list, is it?

To tell you why your grep went wrong:

[root@fileserver linux-2.4.17]# grep ^include Makefile

[among others]

include arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile

[root@fileserver linux-2.4.17]# grep ^install arch/i386/Makefile
install: vmlinux

ie, make vmlinux and make install are the same.

Incidentally, make bzImage will create vmlinux, make vmlinuz is
not a target at all (for 2.4.17, the one I checked).
