There are many incompatibilities. The usual solution in large projects is
to standardize on the GNU utilities, because they work on both HP-UX
and Linux.

Alternatively, you can stick to a very basic subset of functionality that
is portable across HP-UX tools and Linux tools. 

For example:

foo: foo.c
        $(CC) foo.c -o foo

works on both makes. But more complex rules won't.
