I have raised with Ossi that I would like to add a separate rule for compiling build tools for the target. There are some complexities, like requiring a (never tested) on target mkspec which the target qmake would have to use. I would find this very useful in generating images for the Raspberry Pi; compiling Qt on the Pi would be insane, but compiling minor Qt projects on the Pi is entirely feasible and it would be nice if I didn't actually have to have 2 separate compiles of Qt in order to get both the libs and the tools to compile on target.
