Seems like you have (at least parts of) Qt installed system-wide, and you
used system-wide qmake for building. You need to use qmake from your Qt
build, so system-wide Qt installation won't be used.

Also, you should not use qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.9.0.tar.xz for anything.
Use 5.212 branch instead [1]. If you absolutely have to stay with 5.9 branch,
use git branch, not 5.9.0 tarball

Latest tarball can be found at
http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/qtwebkit/5.212/latest/src/submodules/
