There is no 'tar' target. I wonder where you got it from?
The help screen if no target is given looks like below.

Targets
all Alias for build
build Build a new compiler and all packages
install Install newly build files
zipinstall Create zip/tar of installed files
singlezipinstall Alias for zipinstall

Distribution Targets:
rpm Build linux .rpm packages
deb Build linux .deb packages

For cross compilations and installations there is special 
'crosszipinstall' that will pack a cross compiler instead of native
compiler.
