Well, me too i build lot of stuff manually on my personal PC, with lot
of dependencies. Doing a one shot build of a tool on a developer PC is
different from doing a repeatable build from scratch.
I'm building a bunch of stuff (inc. Qt) in docker containers, and I
can tell you that the Dockerfile looks a bit scary. Lot of juggling
around to get the right set of '-dev' packages and the right version
of them.

Anyway, I was not trying to blame Qt for that, it's just that the
build process is not straight forward when you start from a bare
Ubuntu docker image (Or RedHat, SuSe, ...).
And i'm not talking about 32 bits build on 64 bits hosts, i quickly gave up.

For the last example, look at Allan's answer, it seems that i need to
uninstall libnss3-dev package, so that Qt and/or it's de3pendencies
will instead use an internal copy...
Maybe i can use a configure flag to force ignoring the presence of
libnss headers, ... experiment on going right now...
