You have all of those options but no source files were specified. To simplify things, try running this:
/usr/local/bin/gcc -c -o blah.o

You should get the same error. It is looking for something like this (don't run this since you most likely don't have a blah.c file to compile):
/usr/local/bin/gcc -c -o blah.o blah.c

Notice the source file? It means the Makefile either didn't get generated properly or the Makefile generation is bugged. If that is the case, you'll need to edit it yourself. I'm sure that using those directories and the output file name (..../Linux/cdbm_dummy.o), you can find cdbm_dummy.c or cdbm_dummy.cpp or whatever the file is (search for cdbm_dummy* until you find the directory it is in).
