qmake stores the arguments you gave it on the command-line and will always 
rerun itself with the same arguments. Those arguments are also passed to 
subdirectory .pro files when they are run for the first time.

However, if you have a Makefile already, those arguments will not take effect.

If you change your command-line arguments, make sure to add -r (recursive) 
option so that it will regenerate all the Makefiles.
