I can agree.  My systems inherit that from previous builds, but I 
suspect you are right for a virgin install.

Same thing; the issue is a virgin build.   We have the 
/etc/profile.d/qt4.sh script at the end.

For me, the whole thing takes 12.6 SBU (about 20 minutes), but I do use 
-j10.  However see my attached scripts.   Note that stats must be in 
/usr/src and the make script must be run from the same directory as the 
qt sources.  The actual build is done in /tmp/qt4.

No, it needs to be the top of the installed base qt directory:
QT4DIR=/opt/qt4
QTDIR=/opt/qt4

We need to get it right before release.  It sounds like we just need to add

export QTDIR=$QT4PREFIX

just before the `Tools/Scripts/build-webkit` line.
