1) there is a clear distinction between a developer machine and a test
machine. No compilers.
2) Automation on linux is way easier.
3) Managing a build that creates binaries for windows and linux on the
same machine is cool.

Yes. I used this to compile some apps. I did enable qt there and I did
see a "qmake" but I did not test it enough yet. I wish this was ported
and tested to Qt5.

Besides this - I strongly recommend this (just set CC and CXX and
cmake will work with this new compiler).
