Nope, no difference.

For the record, in case someone searches the list in the future about 
this, one should probably also get rid of the default rpath (that points 
to /usr/lib/qt4 or similar), since that also doesn't make sense for 
non-Qt projects.  So this is enough it seems:

   QMAKE_LINK = $$QMAKE_LINK_C
   QMAKE_LFLAGS_RPATH =

This results in a nice, clean gcc link invocation.
