Hi Wayne

I build 1.5svn regularly with qt5.2 and 5.3 under OSX without issue. Note, we don't really use the pro file apart from the translation generation. Everything is built with the CMake build system.

Maybe I will install a gentoo vm to test, but I think this issue will lie with the system's Qt and Gentoo's patches.
