[Interest] using the Qt SDK - qmake and mkspecs not copied?

I'm developing with Qt on Mac and I'm using the Qt sdk which is a big improvement over the old lackluster Qt-mac installer (which didn't support multiple Qt installs and forced installs to usr/local).
I cannot use the supplied Qt binaries however as they aren't built to my requirements do I didn't install them and instead configured and built qt manually using the following:
./configure -prefix "/Developer/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474" -debug-and-release -opensource -fast -shared -no-accessibility -no-rpath -silent -no-framework -sdk "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" -arch x86_64 -no-qt3support -openssl
make install deposits Qt where I expected (/Developer/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474) except neither qmake nor the mkspecs are copied so I cannot use this installation from QtCreator. Instead I have to create softlinks to qmake and the mkspecs dir in the original source directory, after-which QtCreator sees /Developer/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474 as a valid install.
I've had to do this a couple of times now and while it works, I can't believe the SDK is this broken. What am I doing wrong here?
