No, it's not intended to be built from MSYS on windows. It might work, but
is not recommended (by me nor Nokia). This problem though is equally
present with a cmd configure.exe so I'm not sure what you can do to make it
work with a cross-compiler (except editing all the qmake related files by
hand for your setup)
I suggest using a native MinGW-w64 toolchain to build Qt. Qt does not
support cross-compiling (just look at the OpenSuse or Fedora mingw-w64 Qt
package build scripts: they patch the hell out of Qt's build
infrastructure).
