Which version/branch are you building?

Yes, this happens because you are passing the option "-pthread" to the
Qt moc program. You somehow have "-pthread" in your CPPFLAGS variable,
this should not be. Keep CPPFLAGS to valid preprocessor options
(basically only -D and -I) and move other options to
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/FFLAGS as needed.

Incidentally, for the -pthread option, Octave's configure script is
smart enough to figure out whether it is needed and add it in the
appropriate places, you don't need to tell it anything.
