The problem is in the Makefile.am itself. uic-tqt is provided as a bash script 
and not something built by configure, make, make install. The location with 
regard to the ${srcdir} is actually '../qtinterface/uic-tqt' or 
'${startdir}/qtinterface/uic-tqt'. So that's why it gets missed and must be 
copied manually.
