[QtonPi] How to build "native" qmake? Use "cross-compiled" version to build "native" of qmake?

[Felipe Crochik]

The executables have to matter, no?  I built qmake to run on the x86 but
produce makefiles that will build ARM assemblies using the cross toolchain
and installing to a specific sysroot....

either way.

only option to actually build all from source on the pi? I didn't try but
have to assume that just getting a fresh version of the source tree and
building the qtbase folder using "qmake" (without ./configure) like we
built the other modules will not work, right?
