That error means that your compiler doesn't accept the parameter used, the
option itself is strange, I can't find it in gcc 3.4.4, it could be a very old
or very new option.

A quick solution would be to delete that option from src/osdep/unix/Makefile, it
is on line 52:

GCC4CFLAGS= $(GCCCFLAGS) -Wno-pointer-sign

Seems to be for gcc 4.x.
