No, but when you use a compiler directly there's usually no stage where
interim code is added to the output if you don't explicitly specify it. I
realize that qmake ends up calling these compilers at the end anyways, but
I thought there might be a possibility that platform specific defs like
header files or something along those lines might get added in between
somewhere.

I had basically wanted to confirm that the build tools don't implicitly add
any of its own or other qt library source. Thanks for clarifying!
