I had some problems too in building qt from git (I also posted to qt 
mailing list); it looks like there are still problems in the master 
branch, thus you should switch to 4.7 branch

git checkout -b 4.7 origin/4.7

moreover, you will still get errors if you compile it as a standard user 
and you don't specify at configure time a path in -prefix where you have 
write access... this seems to be an issue too which is being fixed they say

cheers
