I don't know if this helps, but apparently I have both qt4 and qt5 plugins
installed, as well as qtchooser.

Here is the output of "make --version":
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

I installed Qt5 via sudo apt-get. I am guessing qt4 and qtchooser was
installed from the WebKitGtk+ installation scritps.
