Tell me about it...

Turns out that all my woes trying to build a brand-new Qt were caused by a 
make -j6 in the top-level qt5.git repository, made worse by using a script 
that runs make --dry-run first (dry-run doesn't run, but it *does* make 
Makefiles, which runs qmake for real).

So instead of using the Makefile from there, I have my own script now to build 
all of Qt.

PS: are the unit tests outside qtbase ever compiled? The qtxmlpatterns ones 
don't build for me.
