The behaviour is still like that. It hasn't changed, provided that you specify 
-prefix to be your qtbase/bin when you configure Qt. 

If you specify to install elsewhere, then those binaries will end up in 
elsewhere/bin only after installation. Where the binaries are located before 
installation is irrelevant, since you're not supposed to use them.

$ pwd; make >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && LC_ALL=C ls bin
/home/tjmaciei/obj/qt/qt5/qtmultimedia
ls: cannot access 'bin': No such file or directory
