Hi! For some reason we don't know, as this files predates our time
packaging Qt, the qmake buildsystem template in
lib/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/qmake.pm include the -nocache option by
default.
Truth is that the option should not be there, at least nowadays. Removing
it will help us not only to be able to use the buildsystem to compile Qt itself
(Qt submodules actually) but also is a big step forward into cross compiling
Qt stuff.
Thanks!
