Worse. It doesn't. When you pass -qt=$something, qtchooser reads a file /usr/share/qtchooser/$something.conf. Those files reside in qtchooser rather than qmake. When you install qtchooser and qmake for different architectures, the relevant configuration file ends up missing. So the projected approach doesn't work. Helmut
