Why?

Why? When you redirect QTDIR, why would it do that?

$ rpm -qa 'qt*devel'
qt4-devel-4.3.2-1.fc8

QTDIR is an environment variable, which does not need to point to
/usr/lib/qt4. You can point $QTDIR/include to /usr/include. See below.

mkdir $(pwd)/QTDIR
ln -s /usr/include $(pwd)/QTDIR/include
ln -s /usr/lib $(pwd)/QTDIR/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/qt4/bin $(pwd)/QTDIR/bin
export QTDIR=$(pwd)/QTDIR
export JAVADIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0
cd generator
qmake-qt4 
make
./generator
cd -
qtmake-qt4 -r
make
...

At that point I've interrupted the build, but it certainly had started
building hundreds of C++ files using Qt 4 with compiler args that
looked fine.
