Okay, turns out libxft was the problem, i removed it and can now compile qt apps happily again.
But what I want to know is what package installed libxft as a dependency in the first place? (i.e. have I now broken something). Still, at least I can upgrade my system again :) Joel. Cheers to all those who offered help & advice, especially to Paul de Vrieze who pointed me to the problem in my config.log.
