I just updated Qt.
Great that the git updating step is now on 
http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Building#Qt_5 :-)


Now it fails building:

Do I have to run configure again, or is qmake in the meantime able to handle 
this ?
Again with the full list of parameters ?
If something of that is required, it should be also on that wiki page.
(I could figure it out, but I'm kind of testing our documentation by just 
following it, so I get the same as probably every other contributor...)
