I am not aware of any such document, beyond what you are already know
about (the "Incompatibilities and Missing Features" section of the
manual).
One thing I can think of that isn't listed there is the difference
between Solaris make's target-specific variables (what they call
conditional macros) and GNU make's; in Sun make you'd say something
like:
target := VARIABLE = value
In GNU make, of course, := means something entirely different and you'd
simply say:
target : VARIABLE = value
Another thing I can think of is .KEEP_STATE, which GNU make doesn't
support at all and which there is really no way to emulate.
Otherwise, if you have specific questions please address them to the
list (and/or maybe check the list archives to see if they've already
been answered).

If you find incompatibilities not mentioned in that chapter, please pass
those along as well so we can take a look at them.
Thanks.
