  Funny you should mention it now, it has been like that since 1.4.9-1
;-)... It is either a cmake bug (see #434584) or a problem of
compilation options of qt4 on hppa, which one precisely is not clear
(might be both as well).

  For the record, removing the comment above

-> /usr/bin/make || /usr/bin/make

takes the build much further, but then ld fail to link the object files
produced, asking for a -ffunction-sections (even if I did provide one).
I have asked some help on debian-hppa[1], and am awaiting some.
