You can't find any because make doesn't have error codes. All it has
are textual error messages, as documented in the manual.
Any numeric error codes or exit codes you see printed are being
generated by the compiler or other tools that make is invoking, not GNU
make itself. You should look at the relevant documentation for the tool
to find out what they mean.
