Obviously I've never seen the problem.

The error message will appear if the test program finds that neither QT_SHARED 
or QT_DLL are defined.

The .pro file that configure.py generates includes "CONFIG += link_prl" as a 
workaround for broken Linux distros not setting QT_SHARED properly. This is 
ignored by a normal Qt build.

Can you suggest a different workaround for your distro?
