Which pre-compiled version of Qt, ie. for which compiler? It sounds like Qt 
might be set up for one compiler but you are using another.

As a quick and dirty hack you could try changing the return statement of the 
fix_qmake_args() function in configure.py so that it is...

    return "-spec win32-g++ " + args
