Checkout usually creates the "src" directory, so making it first
should not be needed.  But I guess you don't have /usr/src/src
now? :)

Is it the cross-compiler or the host compiler which throws this
error?  Or is there some other tool which spews the error
message?  As far as I remember, both the 4.0 and 5.0-era
compilers should know the -pthread flag.  Therefore, more
information is required, and it would probably help with a quote
from the build log instead of a paraphrasing of the error.
