Are you sure it doesn't?

If you aren't absolutely sure that the target doesn't matter, provide the 
information.

Please post the entire build log, starting with the configure command-line.

Looks good so far.

Which qmake was this? The installed one to /usr/local/.... ?

Does that also happen if you don't do this complicated way to separately build 
qtwebengine?

And note that the target here is EXTREMELY important: qtwebengine has a 
different buildsystem.

Then please use a more standard module. Please use qtsvg for this testing. 
This removes a very complicated variable (the qtwebengine buildsystem).

It probably does, but again I don't think anyone was testing 32-bit builds.

Also: build *for* 10.6, not build *on* 10.6.
