Yes.

A lot has changed in the meantime. Qt5 is modularised + it has
numerous new dependencies, and Symbian support was dropped (no
maintainers). New SDK is in the works and it will get better as time
goes. Android support is not officially available yet, so your point
is invalid in that respect (it's due to come in Qt 5.1).

Please search the net (especially Qt Project forums) for more detailed
answers on that. In short: MinGW is still fully supported, you can
compile Qt5 with it any time you like. It's just that MinGW
precompiled package did not make it into 5.0. It will probably be
added in a later release (5.0.1 or 5.1).

There are unofficial MinGW builds available here:

No, I think you should search for information yourself before posting.
