I get a similar error. Also v2.3 but with Arduino 1.0.5 on a OpenSuse Linux

I could solve the problem with the use of an older Arduino version 1.0.1.
I guess the error depends on the integrated gcc compiler which also has changed 
the version. But it would be quite nice if the code would be adapted to the new 
compiler version.

I get the same problem on 1.6.1

Here's a fix for the latest android version:

in KV_Team_OSD.h:

change this: 'extern PROGMEM const char *item_table[];'
to this: 'extern PROGMEM const char * const item_table[];'

in KV_Team_OSD.cpp:
change this: 'PROGMEM const char *item_table[] ='
to this: 'PROGMEM const char * const item_table[] ='

and everything will compile, good luck!

Also here is a fork of the 2.3 build with the fix already in place:
