[Interest] qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1.zip broken?

Sorry, from time to time it happens that I just press 'reply' when it actually should go to the list.
Here the missing answer for all. Sorry

Would it make a difference when I assure you that I have pristine build directory? Probably not. :-)
But what else would I do, but unzip it, cd into it, execute configure.bat and then mingw32-make?
I tried it several times. With different config settings. Same result: -prefix %CD%\qtbase works. -prefix <something else>
don't. 

And I have seen that it is an ANGLE Makefile. This surprised me for two reasons:
1. My config contains -opengl desktop and -no-angle. The list after configure confirmed: angle: no.
2. The very first time I tried to compile Qt 5.2.1 I did not even have the DirectX SDK installed.

So no idea why the ANGLE makefile is touched at all.

But because of that I installed the SDL and tried an ANGLE build.... again: -prefix %CD%\qtbase works. 
-prefix <something else> don't.

Yes. It is not really necessary. But things like that bother me. Who knows if this problem is not only the tip of
an iceberg? Since no once can reproduce this, I am now even more nervous. Something seems to be wrong with my
system and I have no idea what it could be. 

This is the first time that I used a source zip. Before that I always built from git and never had any problems. 
Perhaps I should go back to this habit.
