you shouldn't even have that file. it means you tried to build qmake
with qmake, which is a bit of a non-starter for hopefully obvious
reasons (the project files are there just for qt creator).
use configure to regenerate the correct Makefile.

as for overriding specific variables, hacking the *host* makespec
(before configuring) as others pointed out will work.
