Ok, after hours of searching and trying everything, I found this in the forum 
and manually did this to test it.

./configure -C
make LDFLAGS+="-L/opt/qt/lib"
make install

which seemed to work, so I added it to the PKGBUILD and it worked.

Always a pity when  one dosn't understand what one is doing. Why would this be 
suddenly needed after many many months of it working without it.
