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.

thanks Craig for pointing me towards my system's Qt setup. i tried building with a local/private install of Qt 5.3 from http://qt-project.org/downloads and viola, it builds! unfortunately it does not run though:
<PRE>
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

not sure what this problem is now, but indeed my system's and/or Gentoo's Qt 5.3 setup seems to have problems which i will have to investigate further. thanks so much for the pointer.<BR>
