[Interest] Building Qt for debugging - libwebcore.a File format not recognized

why webkit is tried to be built, if you deactivated this with -no-webkit?
Strange. What kind of errors do you get if you try to compile the debug 
version without deactivating webkit?

An archiv file is just a package of ELF object files. So, a lookup for the 
symbols should be possible. Does this libwebcore.a really exist on you 
harddisk?
