unrecognized command line option '-Wl'

$ gcc --version gcc (Debian 4.9.1-19) 4.9.1 ...

Sundown was deprecated / frozen a while ago, you should use a fork like Hoedown instead.

Even though Sundown might be deprecated, that it is not a satisfactory answer to the question on why it does not compile with GCC 4.9.
