Failed to process package 'qt_gui_cpp'

I'm trying to install ROS Kinetic following this guide, so I get to this command $ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, it runs for a while and it finishes processing package 'pluginlib' [69 of 191]. After this package there is 'qt_gui_cpp' and here it gives error and crashes.
This is the output of that last part of execution:

==> Processing catkin package: 'qt_gui_cpp'

<== Failed to process package 'qt_gui_cpp': 
  Command '['/home/Giuseppe/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh', 'make', '-j4', '-l4']' returned non-zero exit status 2

Reproduce this error by running:
==> cd /home/Giuseppe/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/qt_gui_cpp && /home/Giuseppe/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh make -j4 -l4

Command failed, exiting.

I've already had problems with -l-lpthread following this and this which solved the issue at the time.
I think the issue is that it tries to find -lpthread but it adds one more '-l' so that it searches for -l-lpthread.

Does your workspace contain catkin? If yes, which commit - the latest release from Kinetic or the latest commit on the kinetic-devel branch? You will need the later to get both fixes you referenced.

Also which platform are you building this on?

Thanks for the reply! However I managed to solve the issue following solutions found on some github repo.

I know unluckily I do not remember where I've found it.

I had the same issue. This finally made it work: https://github.com/ros-visualization/python_qt_binding/pull/59/files
