I tried yesterday the 4.7 and 4.7-stable branch on another computer and 
the problem was still there...

today I tried on another computer and the right qmake seems to be called...

then I experienced this problem

/home/bettini/install/qt-git/build/bin/qmake 
QMAKE_ABSOLUTE_SOURCE_PATH=/home/bettini/install/qt-git/qt/src/imports/widgets 
-spec /home/bettini/install/qt-git/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o Makefile 
/home/bettini/install/qt-git/qt/src/imports/widgets/widgets.pro

make: *** [sub-imports-make_default-ordered] Error 2

which seems to be due to the fact that during compiling the install 
directory is being created and of course, since I compile it as 
NON-root, I get permission denied errors...  now I used the -prefix into 
my home directory and it looks like it is being compiled fine...

but this looks like another issue/bug, isn't it?

cheers
