Could very well be that the other bugs you're mentioning are actually a result 
of -no-v8, since this isn't something most people will pass to configure :( I'd 
rather find out what goes wrong for you in the first place.

v8 is somewhat specific in that
  * it is a git submodule of qtbase
  * it requires python to build

You should therefore check whether you've python in the path (I don't know 
whether this is actually checked by configure), and that your git submodule is 
up to date. So, please run 'git status' inside qtbase and check that nothing 
shows up, specifically no 'src\3rdparty\v8'. 

Finally, just re-running configure sometimes doesn't fix everything ... the 
safest thing to do is 'git clean -fxd; git submodule foreach git clean -fxd', 
but I can understand that this really hurts for people without a powerful build 
farm :(  You can mitigate this though by just compiling the modules you're 
interested in. If you e.g. are only interested in qtdeclarative, only compile 
qtbase and qtxmlpatterns. No need to spend precious time on e.g. webkit :)

Hope this helps
