cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-null-conversion" within installing python-mysql on mac 10.7.5

Question

This error broke my python-mysql installation on Mac 10.7.5. Here are the steps

1. The installed python is 2.7.1, mysql is 64 bit for 5.6.11.
2. The being installed python-mysql is 1.2.4, also tried 1.2.3

3. Configurations for the installation

   1) sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
   2) Edit the setup_posix.py and change the following mysql_config.path = "mysql_config" to mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config" 
   3) sudo python setup.py build
   

Here is the stacktrace for build

Welcome your suggestions and ideas. Thanks.

Try to Remove cflags -Wno-null-conversion -Wno-unused-private-field in

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config.

like:

cflags="-I$pkgincludedir  -Wall   -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF -arch x86_64 " #note: end space!
