If you use the Qt libs from the Qt SDK you're in the same boat, your app
bundled with those Qt libs will require the versions of Qt's
dependencies that where installed on whichever machine Nokia built the
Qt SDK. This cannot be 'magically solved'. Luckily though the only
possibly problematic dependency I can think of is openssl, which breaks
its binary compatibility relatively often. The other dependencies
usually don't break it so you should be able to support a rather wide
range of linux distro's even if you build Qt yourself.

That being said I don't quite understand your problem, Nokia still ships
Qt SDK for Linux 32 and 64 Bit on their Downloads page:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads

Note that the Qt 4.7.1 libs are in the "qt" subfolder of that package,
not the top-level lib. Those Qt libs in the top-level lib/ folder are
for QtCreator only.
