QtWebEngine won't build unless you have nss-devel installed (which it complains about) but it also won't build unless libcap-devel is installed (which it doesn't complain about - you only find out when the compiler bails out on you).
It's "documented" at their wiki page [1]. I agree that configure checking these deps is an obviously good thing and that nobody reads wiki pages.
The real big issue here though is none of this is integrated with ./configure, and the failure in QtWebEngine is fatal. Can someone please raise this with the Qt developers and get them to fix their build system please?
Nobody but you have full knowledge of the build environment that you use. Even if I forwarded your report, the Qt developers are likely to ask further questions which only you can answer. That's why it's important to eliminate as many middlemens from the bug reporting process as possible, IMHO.
You should file a bug at their issue tracker.
