How did you clone the Qt 5 repositories? The "best" instructions for building Qt from git can be found at http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git -- its instructions are to clone the root repository, and then run the `init-repository` Perl script to clone the submodules. By default, this script doesn't clone the repositories that are not part of the Qt 5 release.
