Hello,

This looks a lot like the error I got the last time I tried to build Qt.
Try building Qt using the "testing-x86_64-build" or "extra-x86_64-build"
(obviously your architecture may vary) wrappers, they set up a clean
chroot for you to build in. This approach worked for me.

Some more info can be found here:
