Configure already sets a "default" mkspec symlink that matches the target 
mkspec. Making it also create a symlink for "default-host" which matches the 
host platform would be easy.

The tricky part is using that.

You could specify the -spec default-host option when running configure, but 
last I checked with Marius (or was it still Sam?), you can't add that to the 
.pro file because it's too late. The spec file was already loaded by the time 
the .pro file is parsed. So my guess is this would be a major incursion into 
qmake to support the feature.

It would probably be easier, though uglier, to add a separate file that is read 
by qmake when it finds the .pro file.
