well, i can solve trying :D
this is what worked:
in the makefile of QtGui  folder:
1) change the line 37 from:
      $(LINK) $(LFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OFILES) $(LIBS)
  to:
      $(LINK) $(LFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) @ofiles $(LIBS)
2) the line 2 is:
      OFILES = sipQtGuicmodule.o sipQtGuiQList0101QUndoStack.o (AND A LONG ETC)
     copy all after the "=" into a file called ofiles in the folder QtGui.
3) do the make and the make install and thats all :D

I hope this helps others
regards!!
