When you build Qt5 this way the generated executables are not usable.
You could try with the mainwindow example:

On Windows you need some dlls:

$ mkdir win32-mainwindow
$ cp release/mainwindow.exe win32-mainwindow/
$ cp /opt/Qt-5.0.0-win32-g++-i686-w64-mingw32/bin/*.dll win32-mainwindow/
$ cp /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.6/*.dll win32-mainwindow/

Running mainwindow.exe gives the error:
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way"

Seems the msvc runtime is misused:
