Ok, just to be sure, I've nuked EVERYTHING from another build and it also 
happens:

$ ls -a
.  ..  config.opt
$ $srcdir/configure -redo

Preparing build tree...
<srcbase> = /home/tjmaciei/src/qt/qt5/qtbase 
<outbase> = /home/tjmaciei/obj/qt/qt5-clang/qtbase 
[syncqt runs]
Creating qmake...
.........................................................................................Done.
Info: creating cache file /home/tjmaciei/obj/qt/qt5-clang/qtbase/.qmake.cache


Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'gmake'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should not run 'gmake install'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.
$ gmake
