I found the immediate culprit: build/qtbase/qmake/.qmake.stash
This file sets QMAKE_MAC_SDK.macx-clang.macosx.QMAKE_CC etc. to values that are completely unrelated to what's specified in the mkspec file. I think that also explains another issue I've had that is also due to the bootstrap qmake ignoring the information from the specified mkspec file.

I have not yet figured out where the .qmake.stash file is generated though (pbuilder_pbx.cpp?) but fortunately it appears to be possible to pre-generate a version with the appropriate values before calling configure.
