I recognize the message and fixed it like this (as per some tip I found
some time ago while Googling on the error message):

sed -i "s! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWNPRODUCT!" frmts/hdf4/*.{h,cpp}
sed -i "s!\"UNKNOWN!\"UNKNOWNPRODUCT!" frmts/hdf4/*.{h,cpp}

(Replace UNKNOWN by UNKNOWNPRODUCT in the relevant files to prevent
the conflict. Note the space and double quote in front of the words.)

Other than that I was able to build Gdal with hdf4.2r3 support.
