Comment(by michaelld@…):

 Compiling Qt 4.7 (1) takes a long time; and (2) uses LOTS of disk space --
 no matter what variants are selected.  Qt 5.0 will split out the current
 build system into a 'core' with separate modules -- sort of like what
 Python does; this version will be out (they claim) in Q4'11 or Q1'12.
 Until then, I -highly- recommend that you find a way to clear up some disk
 space -- I was always told that you should keep 10+-% of the disk capacity
 free for "stuff" (e.g., swap space, extra compile space, whatever).  I'll
 look into the extra debug stuff being built, but I doubt that there's
 anything I can do about it since it is probably an internal-QMake issue.
 Have you checked Qt tickets to see if anyone else has encountered this
 issue & reported it?  Their forums are pretty good.
