Call the target "build".

<call target="build" />

This shows how a project could 'compile' a debug and release build using a common compile target.

<project default="build">
    <target name="compile">
        <echo message="compiling with debug = ${debug}" />
    </target>
    <target name="build">
        <property name="debug" value="false" />
        <call target="compile"/>
        <property name="debug" value="true" />
        <call target="compile" />
    </target>
</project>
