Wait, what are you trying to accomplish?

Building Haiku on Haiku? Even if you're just trying to compile stuff
on Haiku, the following is the proper/preferred method:

You need to create a Haiku image/install with the "Development"
optional package which should contain all the tools necessary to
compile Haiku on Haiku, or whatever for Haiku.

You will probably also want to add the "Subversion" package if you
want to download the sources directly to Haiku.

It seems you've somehow ended up with the R5 cross-compiler instead.
