You need to fix this error before compiling Qt. As the message says, C++11 
<random> is required for Qt.

In the qtbase sources, you'll find 
config.tests/unix/cxx11_random/cxx11_random.cpp

Fix your compiler so it compiles that file.

It works just fine with Clang on Linux for me.

$ clang -std=c++11 -fsyntax-only config.tests/unix/cxx11_random/
cxx11_random.cpp

$ clang -v
clang version 5.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_500/final 312548)
