This commit tries to workaround the issue
http://src.mouf.net/area51/revision/?rev=10691

However we reverted it in
http://src.mouf.net/area51/revision/?rev=10838
because it broke PORTS. QMake is messing up the linker path orders and
ends up referencing the ${PREFIX} libraries instead of the build path
ones when upgrading Qt ports, which causes the upgrade process to fail.
