That's because include paths in auto-generated files are relative, right? I've already run into that when using symlinks in the path on Linux, where chdir doesn't (always) canonicalise the resulting path and a single directory location on disk can thus have any number of working paths.

You mean it won't run qmake with (most likely) different options? Qtbase is configured via `configure` which does call qmake, but it isn't evident at all to figure out what those options are after the fact. If QMake is not being run when pressing the configure button than that should indeed be safe.
